WinCompose 0.7.7beta20160207

This beta release features an experimental Esperanto translation.

WinCompose v0.7.6

This release provides important usability and compatibility improvements:

• WinCompose now detects keyboard layout changes and adapts instantly
• keyboards with an AltGr key are handled properly, even when it acts as the Compose key.
• sequences containing the compose key itself are now possible, for instance ComposeComposecake for 🍰.

Also, this is the first release that will actually test the automatic update notification. I hope everything goes well.

WinCompose v0.7.6beta20160116

New in this version is correct behaviour when the compose key is AltGr.

WinCompose v0.7.6beta20160111

• The systray icon will change its appearance if a new version of WinCompose is available.
• If the key chosen as the Compose key has a physical LED, such as most Caps Lock keys, it will reflect the composing status.
• New option for generic Unicode input; now just type Compose u 1 f 6 3 8 for 😸 (character U+1f638).
• New option for Unix-like Caps Lock behaviour, where if the keyboard has a é key it will emit É when Caps Lock is on.
