Recommended update for xdotool


Type: recommended
Severity: moderate
Issued: 2021-11-21
Description:
This update for xdotool fixes the following issues:

xdotool was updated to 3.20160805.1

* Fix release tool problem. cflags.sh was missing from the
  previous two releases. 
* `make test-package-build` now works correctly on Fedora and OSX

version 3.20160804.1:

* Fix memory leaks in window search and charcode map lookups
* xdotool selectwindow (xdo_select_window_with_click) now only
  selects the window if mouse button 1 is pressed. Any other
  buttons will cause this selection to be aborted.
* Fix bug where `xdotool click` with --clearmodifiers can
  sometimes leave stuck keys or mouse buttons.
* windowmove now supports coordinates as a percentage of screen
  size. For example, a move to 50% 50% would move the window
  such that the top-left corner of the window is in the center
  of the screen.
* Typing commands (key and type) will now try to use XTEST
  instead of XSendEvent in a special circumstance. If the window
  id given (by window stack or the --window flag) is the currenly
  focused window, key sequences will be sent using XTEST.
* getmouselocation, getwindowgeometry, and search commands: now
  supports --shell and --prefix for having stdout be consumable by
  bash or similar shells.
* xdotool scripts such as running via `xdotool -` will now execute
  commands as lines of input are read. The previous behavior
  waited until stdin closed before executing anything.

version 3.20150503:

* Fix sending wrong keys when using multiple keyboard layouts 
* Add --repeat and --repeat-delay to allow repetition of a key
  sequence
* Fix handling of empty files in type command
* consume regexp argument only if present.
* update URLs to Github
* Changes determined via:
  https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool/compare/65cb0b1...v3.20150503.1
  with an optional delay in between each full sequence.
* removes reference to function in header file that was removed
