CEF packages bundled only libxkbcommon-x11 next to the binary. On newer distros (e.g. Arch, libxkbcommon 1.13) it paired with the host libxkbcommon and segfaulted in xkb_state_update_mask during winit X11 init.

  • AppImage: ships a matched libxkbcommon/libxkbcommon-x11/libxcb-xkb set in usr/lib/xkb-fallback, used by AppRun only when the host lacks libxkbcommon-x11.
  • deb: depends on libxkbcommon-x11-0 instead of bundling; portable tarball uses the host libs.
  • Replaces the legacy Q app icon with the hexagon brand mark used in the app.
  • Bumps QueryMT Desktop to 0.1.10.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved Linux AppImage compatibility on systems missing the XKB library by providing a bundled fallback.
    • Added the required XKB library dependency to Debian packages.
  • Chores
    • Updated the application version to 0.1.10.

Bundling only libxkbcommon-x11 next to the binary paired it with the host libxkbcommon, which segfaults in xkb_state_update_mask on newer distros such as Arch. The AppImage now ships a matched xkb fallback set used only when the host lacks libxkbcommon-x11, and the deb depends on libxkbcommon-x11-0.
Synchronize all six desktop version values across npm, Cargo, both lockfiles, and Tauri.

Walkthrough

The release version changes to 0.1.10. Linux packaging adds XKB library dependencies and an AppImage fallback set. The AppImage launcher checks for a host XKB library and uses the bundled fallback when it is absent.

Changes: Linux release packaging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Version metadata
package.json, src-tauri/Cargo.toml, src-tauri/tauri.conf.json
The package and application version values change from 0.1.9 to 0.1.10.
XKB package contents
nfpm.yaml, scripts/cef/package.sh
The Debian dependencies add libxkbcommon-x11-0. AppImage packaging stages libxkbcommon.so.0, libxkbcommon-x11.so.0, and libxcb-xkb.so.1 in usr/lib/xkb-fallback.
Conditional XKB loading
scripts/cef/package.sh
The launcher checks for the host libxkbcommon-x11.so.0 and prepends the bundled fallback directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH when it is absent.

On hosts with only a 32-bit XKB X11 library, the AppImage may fail to launch despite including a fallback. Check that the host library is loadable before skipping it.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: a Linux packaging fix that stops CEF packages from bundling a libxkbcommon that mismatches the host's. The changeset matches this. scripts/cef/package.sh stages a matched libxkbcommon, libxkbcommon-x11 and libxcb-xkb set, and the AppRun launcher uses that fallback only when the host lacks libxkbcommon-x11. nfpm.yaml adds a libxkbcommon-x11-0 Debian dependency. The version bumps and icon replacement in the PR objectives are secondary and need not appear in the title.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 1 files.

Replace the legacy Q icon in all bundled icon sizes with the hexagon mark already used inside the app, so launchers, AppImage, deb, and window icons match the in-app branding.

Check that the host library is loadable before skipping the fallback.

If the host has only a 32-bit libxkbcommon-x11.so.0, host_has_library accepts it for the 64-bit AppImage. If no other loadable X11 library is on the loader path, X11 initialization can panic instead of using the bundled fallback.

Only count host libxkbcommon-x11 entries loadable by the AppImage architecture, so a 32-bit-only host copy no longer suppresses the bundled matched xkb set.
