1. Copy help.keyman.com/developer/17.0/* into /developer/docs/help 2. Update references to 18.0 where appropriate 3. Copy all referenced images from /cdn/dev into /developer/docs/help/images and update links in documentation Next commit: add deployment to help-keyman-com.sh. Note: simplest way to test links at this point is to use the help.keyman.com auto deploy and wait for the PR on help.keyman.com to be validated; we could look at an internal link validation tool that verifies markdown links?

title: What's new in Keyman Developer 18.0
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Keyman Developer 17 has a number of significant changes:
|
|
|
|
* `kmcomp` has been removed and replaced with `kmc`. Learn more in our [kmcomp migration guide](reference/kmc/cli/kmcomp-migration).
|
|
|
|
* Windows installer packages should now be built with
|
|
`kmc build windows-package-installer` and can no longer be built within
|
|
the Keyman Developer IDE. More details on how to use this are in the
|
|
[`kmc` reference documentation](reference/kmc/cli/reference#toc-kmc-build-windows-package-installer-additional-options).
|
|
|
|
* `.keyboard_info` files are now generated entirely from the package and
|
|
keyboard files. Extra fields are available in packages for license file,
|
|
welcome file, typing examples, related packages (including deprecated
|
|
packages), and additional font files. Keyboards in the Keyman Cloud
|
|
keyboard repository have already been updated; if you are an author of
|
|
one of these keyboards, you should pull the changes from the repository
|
|
before submitting future updates.
|
|
|
|
* Keyboard project files (.kpj) now have a new format which does not list
|
|
individual files, but instead includes all files in the same folder and
|
|
subfolders relative to the project file. This prevents projects from
|
|
including unrelated files, and reduces the number of files that change
|
|
when keyboards are updated.
|
|
|
|
* Keyman Developer will now open each project in a new window, allowing
|
|
the user to rapidly switch between multiple projects at the same time.
|
|
|
|
* The Keyman Keyboard and Lexical Model Cloud repositories have new build
|
|
scripts which run `kmc`. These run much, much faster than previously!
|
|
|
|
* The [`&displayMap`](/developer/language/reference/displaymap) store allows
|
|
keyboard developers to specify a font mapping to PUA for the On Screen
|
|
Keyboard and Touch Layout to resolve diacritic rendering issues.
|
|
|
|
* Keyman Developer has been updated to support Unicode 15.1.
|
|
|
|
* Additional non-printing characters have been added to the Touch Layout Editor.
|
|
|
|
* Virtual keys in output of rules have never worked properly or been officially
|
|
supported; Keyman Developer will now warn if you attempt to use this pattern.
