Ukelele Publisher Description

Ukelele is a Unicode keyboard layout editor for the XML-format keyboard layout files in OS X (".keylayout" files). It provides a graphical interface to the layout files with support for drag-and-drop character assignments, creation of dead keys, and assignment of multi-character strings.

OS: PPC/Intel
Requirements: Mac OS X 10.2 or later.
Whats new:
Version 1.8:

* We now remove unused actions when removing unused states, which improves the behaviour, removing more states.
* Fixed a bug which occasionally made Ukelele crash when editing the terminator of a dead key state by double-clicking the dead key.
* Fixed a bug which caused a crash on quit after adding a new modifier combination.
* Fixed a bug which caused a crash when a dead key state had no terminator specified, usually when a keyboard layout has been edited outside Ukelele.
* Updated the resources list to reflect a changed URL.
* Fixed a bug that caused a crash when you tried to open a file that had illegal XML.
* Fixed a couple of places where strings were not properly encoded for XML, leading to a possibility of getting a file which was not legal XML, and therefore the system could not use the keyboard layout, and Ukelele could not open it again.
* A malformed file could cause a crash on save. This is fixed.
* When you change the script code, a random keyboard ID in the appropriate range is chosen. Also, new keyboards have a random keyboard ID.
* Updated the manual to include information on the correct ranges of IDs allowed for each of the different script types. Keyboard IDs may have more influence than is implied by Apple’s documentation, but this is far from certain.
* Updated the help book a little to reflect changes in the program and in terminology used in the manual.
* Updated the Unicode system keyboard layouts to have all the current control keys having default output (they got missed in 1.8b6).
