This is primarily a bug fix release, including further work on improving the thread-safety-constructor and making it work with software which had incorrectly called libX11 functions from inside X*IfEvent() calls.
Highlights: * Allow X*IfEvent() to reenter libX11 to avoid deadlock from unsafe calls when thread-safety-constructor is enabled (!150). * Remove Xlib's pthread function stubs - instead use system provided threads functions, including linking against any needed pthread libraries if thread-safety-constructor is enabled (!155, !156). * Fix off-by-one error in XKeycodeToKeysym for indexes > 3 (!78). * Allow XNSpotLocation with OnTheSpot (!127). * Fix Win32 build when -fno-common is in effect (!140). * Fix memory leak in XRegisterIMInstantiateCallback (!158). * Add compose sequences for the double-struck capitals ℕ ℤ ℚ ℝ ℂ (!144), Samogitian E with dot above and macron (!147), Unicode minus sign (!163). * Change <Compose> <^> <-> to mean superscript minus instead of macron (!162). * Delete compose sequences that mix top-row digits with numpad digits (!139) or mix upper & lower case letters (!144). * Delete some unuseful compose sequences meant for Bépo layout (!146). * Delete compose sequences using leftcaret & rightcaret keysyms (!163). * Remove KOI8-R character set from en_US.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE (!148). * Map sr locales to sr_RS compose files (!161).
