Changelog

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 100ms inline xprop poll fires reliably after every window switch, regardless of held modifiers.

Active Window Detection

  • xprop fallbackget_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 Flatpakfind_sibling_binary() now tries {name}-daemon fallback; is_daemon_running() checks both vietc and vietc-daemon process names.
  • Fixed mkdir -pbuild-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 Flatpakneeds_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

Clipboard & Injection
