5.1.0

Refer to https://github.com/bradrn/Conkey#installation for installation instructions.

Bugfixes

5.0.0

Refer to https://github.com/bradrn/Conkey#installation for installation instructions.

Bugfixes

• Unswap positions of ⟨ǿǾ⟩ on the keyboard

Modifications

• ⟨ɗ⟩ and ⟨ɖ⟩ were swapped with each others’ positions on the keyboard; the former is used far more widely (counting languages by speaker number), so it makes sense to move it to the key sequence which is easier to type

Additions

• Superscript ⟨ˁ⟩ added

Other changes

• Documentation moved to https://github.com/bradrn/Conkey/blob/master/Documentation.md
• XCompose version added

4.1.0

Refer to https://github.com/bradrn/Conkey#installation for installation instructions.

Bugfixes

• S-swash and Z-swash ⟨ȿⱾ ɀⱿ⟩
• D-hook ⟨ᶁ⟩

• Lozenge mark ◊
• More mathematical and physical symbols: ⟨∞ ℓ ⊗ ☉ ℵ⟩
• Variation selectors VS1 (general), VS15 (enforces textual rendering) and VS16 (enforces emoji rendering); these should allow more flexible use of certain symbols provided by Conkey

• Corrected mapping for Israeli Shekel ₪; this symbol was previously defined but inaccessible

3.0.0

Refer to https://github.com/bradrn/Conkey#installation for installation instructions.

Changes

Modifications

• Merge math, Haskell and blackboard bold dead keys
• Merge punctuation, IP marks and currency dead keys
• Merge colon dead key (G-S-;) with combining diacritics dead key (G-m)

The above mergers free up some space on the keyboard, allowing other keys to be moved to more convenient places:

• G-a and G-s dead keys removed, with their former mappings being moved:
  • G-a a → G-l a
  • G-a e → G-a
  • G-s s → G-s
  • G-s h → G-d
  • G-s f → G-f
• Latin epsilon ɛ moved to G-r from G-3
• Turned v ʌ moved to G-v from G-l v
• Mappings for G-l dead key have been changed;
  refer to the documentation for details on the new mappings.
