# Changelog ## v0.1.7 (2026-07-01) ### Password Auto-Detection - **AT-SPI2 D-Bus integration**: Queries `org.a11y.atspi.Registry.GetFocus` + `GetRole` to detect password fields (role 62 = `PASSWORD_TEXT`). Automatically disables Vietnamese input when typing into a password field, re-enables when focus moves away. - **Window-class fallback**: Password dialogs (pinentry, polkit, kwallet, ssh-askpass) are detected via `password_apps` config list. - **Window-title fallback**: Window titles containing "password", "passphrase", "sudo", "mật khẩu" trigger automatic English mode. ### Telex Input Method - **Telex now fully enabled**: Both VNI and Telex are supported. Switch via Ctrl+Shift hotkey or tray menu "Input Method > Telex / VNI". - **Method status file** (`~/.config/vietc/method`): Daemon writes the current method so the tray can display it. - **Tray indicator**: Red "VN" for VNI, Blue "TLX" for Telex, Gray "EN" for English mode. - **Config option**: `toggle_method_key = "shift"` configures the Ctrl+Shift method toggle combo. ### GNOME/Wayland Support - **Native GNOME Shell D-Bus integration**: Queries `org.gnome.Shell.Eval` for focused window class, ID, and title — works on Wayland GNOME where xdotool/xprop are unavailable. - **Window detection chain**: GNOME Shell D-Bus → wlrctl → xdotool → /proc — ensures window tracking works across all environments. - **Compositor detection**: Added GNOME/Mutter detection via `pgrep gnome-shell` and `XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP`. - **Dependencies**: `dbus` crate (0.9) added for both AT-SPI2 and GNOME Shell D-Bus queries. ### CLI Enhancements - **Pass-through characters**: All characters now appear in output (not just those that emit engine events). - **Screen display**: Backspace characters are properly applied to show what would appear on screen. - **State reset**: Each input line starts with a clean engine state. - **New commands**: `:help`, `:status`, `:vi`, `:en`, `:ar on|off`, `:macros`, `:macro add/rm/clear`, `:events`, `:events clear`. ### Bug Fixes - **Engine state correctly reset between input lines** in CLI test harness. - **Flush characters forwarded** after macro expansion / auto-restore replacement to preserve spacing. - **AT-SPI2 connected to wrong D-Bus bus**: Was connecting to session bus instead of the private accessibility bus. Now queries `org.a11y.Bus.GetAddress` to find the correct bus. - **Password detection now periodic**: Re-checks every 30 keystrokes even without window change (catches in-terminal sudo prompts). - **Double space on Ctrl+Space toggle**: Raw key forwarding now checks if engine is enabled before forwarding flush chars. - **xprop/wmctrl fallbacks**: Window class, title, and ID detection now work without `xdotool` installed (uses `xprop` + `wmctrl`). - **Single-instance lock improved**: Writes PID to lock file; detects and cleans up stale locks automatically. --- ### uinput-First Injection - **Injection priority reversed**: uinput (`/dev/uinput`) is now the primary injection backend on X11, with X11 XTest as fallback. uinput sends evdev keycodes that route correctly through libinput — no X11 keycode offset needed. - **X11 XTest keycode fix**: X11 injector was sending evdev keycodes directly to `XTestFakeKeyEvent`, which expects X11 keycodes (evdev + 8). Backspace sent keycode 14 (evdev) = X11 keycode 14 = "5" key. Fixed by adding +8 offset in all `send_keycode` paths. - **`paste_via_clipboard()` backspace fixed**: was hardcoded to X11 keycode 14 (actually "5"), now uses evdev 14 + 8 = 22 (correct X11 backspace). ### Window-Switch Detection - **Active window ID verified on every keystroke**: removed the `gap > 100ms` guard — the daemon now polls `xdotool`/`xprop` directly for every character keypress. This catches window switches that complete in under 100ms, preventing old engine buffer from leaking into the new window. ### Input Method - **Telex disabled in tray**: greyed out with "(next version)" label and `Disposition::Informative`. Only VNI is functional. - **Default input method changed** from `"telex"` to `"vni"` in config fallback. ### Packaging - **Flatpak and AppImage removed**: only `.deb` packaging is maintained. `packaging/flatpak/` and `packaging/appimage/` directories deleted. - **Postinst improvements**: removes stale `/usr/local/bin/vietc*` binaries, deletes old `~/.config/vietc/config.toml` + `overrides.toml` + `.first-launch-done`, shows logout popup (notify-send + zenity). - **CI workflow**: only `.deb` artifact collected (no AppImage). --- ## v0.1.5 (2026-06-29) ### Window-Switch Engine Reset - **Engine state now clears on window switch** — when Alt+Tab'ing between apps, the composition buffer is properly reset before the next keystroke. Previously, keystrokes could still apply Vietnamese tone/mark rules across app boundaries, producing corrupted text. - **`last_key_time` only on character key presses** — modifier-only events (Alt, Ctrl, Shift) no longer update the gap timer, so the 100 ms inline xprop poll fires reliably after every window switch, regardless of held modifiers. ### Active Window Detection - **xprop fallback** — `get_active_window_id()` tries `xdotool` first, falls back to `xprop -root _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW` (preinstalled `x11-utils`). Works under sudo even when xdotool is absent. ### Code Cleanup - **Removed ~400 lines of dead unsafe code** — entire X11 clipboard shared-state block (unsafe statics, manual Xlib dlopen, SelectionRequest handling) was unused and has been deleted. All related `#[warn(dead_code)]` and `#[warn(static_mut_refs)]` warnings eliminated. - **Engine dead code removed** — unused methods `is_empty`, `is_tone_or_mark_key`, `process_string`, `last_base_char`, `apply_cluster_mark`, `apply_mark` in `BambooEngine`; `RuleEffect` enum and `special_rules` field in `InputMethodRules`. - **Production logging** — per-key `eprintln!` removed from evdev loop and uinput paste path. Only startup/error/window-change messages remain (`log_info` to both stderr and file). ### Flatpak Build & System Tray - **System tray** (`vietc-tray` using ksni/DBus StatusNotifier) is now built and included in the Flatpak bundle. The tray launches the daemon and shows Vietnamese/English mode. - **Desktop menu entry** — the app now appears when searching **"Viet+"** in the application menu. Search, launch, or uninstall from there. - **Flatpak command** changed from `vietc-daemon` to `vietc-tray` (the tray spawns the daemon). - **Tray fixes for Flatpak** — `find_sibling_binary()` now tries `{name}-daemon` fallback; `is_daemon_running()` checks both `vietc` and `vietc-daemon` process names. - **Fixed `mkdir -p`** — `build-flatpak.sh` now creates `/app/share/applications` before installing the desktop file. ### Active Window Detection (Flatpak fix) - **Native X11 `_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW` query** via `dlopen("libX11.so.6")` — added as third fallback in `get_active_window_id()`. Works inside the Flatpak sandbox where `xdotool`/`xprop` are unavailable. No subprocess, no external dependencies. ### Default Mode - **`start_enabled` now defaults to `true`** — Vietnamese mode is active immediately after launch. Press Ctrl+Space to toggle to English. *(Existing users with a custom config.toml are unaffected — the explicit setting overrides the default.)* ### Tray & Desktop Entry - **No password prompt inside Flatpak** — `needs_root()` detects Flatpak sandbox (`FLATPAK_ID` or `/app/bin` presence) and skips sudo entirely; the sandbox already has device access via `--device=all`. - **First-launch flag always written** — the `.first-launch-done` marker is created even when the password prompt is dismissed, preventing repeated prompts. - **Desktop categories** widened to `Utility;TextTools;X-GNOME-Utilities;` for better visibility in Cinnamon/Mint app menu. - **Bundle**: `VietPlus-0.1.5.flatpak` (66 MB with tray, runtime `org.gnome.Platform//50`). Warning-free build. --- ## v0.1.4 (2026-06-28) ### Flatpak Packaging - **Flatpak bundle** with all components: daemon, CLI, system tray, uinputd, XRecord, wrapper script - **System tray icon** via D-Bus StatusNotifierItem (ksni) - **Build script** `packaging/flatpak/build-flatpak.sh` — automated build from source - **Permissions:** X11, Wayland, D-Bus session bus, input devices, IPC ### Documentation - README updated with Flatpak-only install/build instructions ### Clipboard & Injection - **Fix clipboard-into-text race** — Eliminated race condition where clipboard content leaked into typed text during Unicode injection. - **CI/CD pipeline** — GitHub Actions workflow for automatic .deb and AppImage builds on push. ### Tests - **106 tests** passing (72 engine + 16 CLI + 12 protocol + 5 auto-restore + 1 tone placement). ### Releases - `vietc_0.1.4-1_amd64.deb`, `Viet+-0.1.4-x86_64.AppImage` on GitHub + Forgejo. --- ## v0.1.3 (2026-06-26) - ua-horn cluster fix, clipboard_context save/restore, control-key consumption - 106 tests, DEB + AppImage --- ## v0.1.2 (2026-06-26) - Flush char forwarded as raw key, auto-restore English words - Tone placement qu/gi/uê/uơ, skip auto-repeat, Enter key --- ## v0.1.1 (2026-06-26) - Fix Telex tone key consumption, persistent X11 connection --- ## v0.1.0 (2026-06-26) Initial release — bamboo engine port, evdev capture, uinput injection.
