With the Migration from xkbdata to XkeyboardConfig there are some
changes to non-Sun keyboard layout maps. Below can be found details
of these changes:


1. Variants were created for different languages and regions replacing
old kb maps.

For example in old xkbdata there were more than 6 kb maps for different
languages or regions of India; with the new XkeyboardConfig all those maps are
included into one single kb map (in) and are separated by variants.
The attached file (eval_table.txt) contains detailed information referring
old xkbdata map with the corresponding new XkeyboardConfig map and its
respective variant.


2. Some kb maps could have minor differences compared with the older
xkbdata map.

I mean some symbols may be in different position for some kb maps. It is
the case of the following keyboard maps:

    bg, br, by, ca, cz, fi, hr, is, mm, mt, no, pl, ro, ru, si, tj, tj, tr,
    uz, and vn.

Details on exact symbols differences are described in the attached file
(eval_diff.txt) and sub-files (new_diff_*.txt).
