libxklavier 2.0 has been released:

Celebrating the oncoming GNOME 2.10 release, I am proud to present new stable release of the X keyboard utility library.

The major change since last stable series (1.0x) is xmodmap support (as good as it can be in the world where most of users enjoy the beauties of XKB extension:). This improvement required major internal reogranization and API/ABI breakage.

A lot of optimizations and cleanups were performed. Valgrind helped to find many many memory leaks - which definitely were fixed.

So, the stuff can be downloaded, as usual, either from freedesktop.org CVS (repository xklavier) or sf.net:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=319&package_id=49313&release_id=308398

Bugreports are very welcome, as usual
