The changelist from the previous announced release is as follows:

20091231.04:
  - Try repeatedly to grab the keyboard with XGrabKeyboard on 'start' commands.
    This loop is a necessary workaround for programs like xbindkeys that could
    launch keynav but at the time of launch still hold a keyboard grab
    themselves. Reported by Colin Shea.

20091231.02:
  - Nonfunctional bug fixes and other code cleanup from patches by Russell Harmon

20091231.01:
  - Some internal code refactor/cleanup
  - Reduce drawing flicker by drawing to a Pixmap and blitting to the window.
  - Allow commands to be given on keynav startup. (Reported by Colin Shea)
    The same commands valid as keybindings are valid as startup commands:
    % keynav "start, grid 3x3"
  - Allow clicking through the keynav grid window area (Reported by Yuri D'Elia)
  - Support daemonizing using the 'daemonize' command in keynavrc. Added an
    example to the distributed keynavrc.
  - Use new library features given by xdotool/libxdo 20091231.01

20091208:
  - Support linking against libxdo.so if it is found, otherwise we build xdo.o
    into keynav. The original intent of including xdotool in the release package
    was to make make it easy to build keynav without a packaging system. Now
    that more distros have keynav and xdotool, this requirement is less
    important.

    This change is in response to Debian rqeuest:

keynav-20091231.02

The changelist from the previous announced release is as follows:

20091108:
  - Added xinerama support.
    * Default 'start' will now only be fullscreen on your current xinerama
    display. You can move between screens by using the move-* actions to move
    the current selection outside the border of the current screne.
  - All xdotool commands now return integers so we can forward their return
    status to the user.
  - Actually handle SIGCHLD now so the shell commands get reaped on exit.

The changelist from the previous announced release is as follows:

20090815:
* Incorporate patch from Henning Bekel which adds a new ability to change
  window properties such as window name, icon name, class, role, etc.  New
  command: xdotool set_window
* Add --maxdepth to 'xdotool search' to limit the traversal depth

Looking at svn logs for xdotool shows that the project is now just over 2 years old. Crazy!

The changelist from the previous announced release is as follows:

20090710:
  * You can clear keyboard modifiers during typing now with --clearmodifiers
    When used, this flag causes physical keyboard modifiers (alt, control, etc)
    that are currently active to be ignored during typing.
    This is supported in: xdotool key, keyup, keydown, and type.
    
    Example: 
      xdotool type 'hello world' results in 'HELLO WORLD' while holding shift.
      xdotool type --clearmodifiers 'hello world' results in 'hello world'
        regardless of you holding shift.

    The 'reset' only happens at the beginning of typing and the modifiers are
    restored at the end. If you press a modifier key *during* typing it will 
    act as if --clearmodifiers was not present.
    (http://code.google.com/p/semicomplete/issues/detail?id=6)

  * You can now specify literal keycodes for any key command.
    Example: xdotool key 38   (types 'a' with my keyboard)
    (requested via mailing list)

  * Regression fix: 'xdotool type' now properly obeys capitalization, again.
  * Bug fix: 'xdotool key --window' now works properly

The changelist from the previous announced release is as follows:

20090612:
  * Fixed bug where shift modifier was not reset when 'xdotool type' used.
  http://code.google.com/p/semicomplete/issues/detail?id=5

Hop on over to the xdotool project page and download the new version.

The changelist from the previous announced release is as follows:

20090609:
  * Add '--delay ' to xdotool type. Sets the delay between keys.
  * Add '--window ' to xdotool type, key, keyup, and keydown.
    This feature (key events with --window ) only works if the
    application does not reject X events that have 'send_event' set to true.

    Special notes:
    * Firefox appears to ignore all input when it does not have focus.
    * xterm ignores sendevent by default, ctrl+leftclick menu will let you
      enable it.
    * gnome-terminal appears to accept send_event input by default

This is the same post I made to the keynav-users mailing list

I just finished working on the xinerama portion of multi-screen support for keynav.

If someone is interested, I could use some help testing. It's working for me, and there are a few odd behaviors that I'm not sure are the best. Let me know if you test it.

No new official release yet, but if you want to test, svn can be fetched with:
svn checkout http://semicomplete.googlecode.com/svn/keynav

- Include support for multiple screens.
  * When 'start' happens, the region will be the size of the current display
    (wherever the mouse is)
  * Moving the region outside of the current display will move it to the next
    display (right or left). This currently only works with Xinerama.
  * History works as expected (move to the right display, history-back goes to
    the previous display, etc)
  * When multiple Screen (non-xinerama) are found, XGrabKey on all root windows.
  * Screens are sorted, if possible, from left-to-right based on x-coordinate
    origin. This unfortuntely means, for now, only left-to-right monitor
    configurations are known to be supported.

I've got a dual-head setup now that has unequal resolutions. Keynav kind of sucks when this situation occurs, so I'm adding multiple-screen and Xinerama support to keynav. I'll update here when it's done.

The changelist from the previous announced release is as follows:

20080614.01:
  - Several bug fixes and feature additions suggested by Yuri D'Elia.
  - Sync xdotool library to 20080606
  - Added default key binding Ctrl+[ as 'end' (requested by Luke Macken)
  - New command: 'sh' - Executes shell commands.
    Example keynavrc: ctrl+x sh "xterm -bg black -fg white"
  - New command: 'history-back' - Undo a window change operation
    Example keynavrc: a history-back
    + Such operations include: cut-*, grid, cell-select, move-*
    + The history size is currently hard-coded at 100 entries.
    + If you exceed 100 moves, the oldest entry will be removed.
    + Every time keynav is activated, the history is wiped.
  - Fix: Any command starting with "start" is now bound globally.
  - Fix: All rendering is delayed until after the end of the current command
    sequence. This fixes (in order of annoyance, worst first):
    1) Crash when a 'start' and 'end' exist in the same command sequence.
    2) Visible 2x2 grid first, before a 3x3 grid when the start command is
       'start, grid 3x3'
    3) Rendering blinking a full white window on the screen before clipping to
       the grid.
    4) Visible blink when "cut-left,cut-up" and such are run simultaneously.
  - Fix: If the 'start' command is invoked again while keynav is active, then
    the default arrangement is set (full screen and 2x2 grid). Previously, the
    'start' command was a no-op if keynav was active.

I've also put up an HTML version of the manpage: xdotool.xhtml.

The changelist from the previous announced release is as follows:

20080606:
  * Correctly report an error if xdotool is invoked with an invalid command.
  * Fix invalid error code reporting from 'windowraise'
