Nimf 2025.12.10 Released

Wed, Dec 10 2025 18:04:44 KST

Hello. Nimf 2025.12.10 is released.

Changes

Core & API:

• Refactor nimf_ic_set_callbacks to use CimCallbacks structure instead of variable arguments for better type safety and clarity.
• Rename NIM_BEEP to NIM_NOTIFY to handle generic notifications such as CIM_NOTIFICATION_COMPOSE_CANCELLED.
• Daemon: Redirect stdin, stdout, and stderr to /dev/null on startup. This prevents crashes in environments (like Weston 9.0) where standard descriptors might be closed.

Modules & Linguas:

• Linguas (All): Refactor candidate table memory allocation. Change from jagged arrays (array of pointers) to a single contiguous memory block to simplify memory management and prevent leaks.
• Qt5: Fix a dangling pointer issue in cb_get_surround by persisting the QByteArray data in the context. Add a simple editor for testing.
• Gtk4: Implement set_cursor_pos using graphene to correctly translate client widget coordinates to screen coordinates.

Known bugs

• There is a bug where input freezes or nimf-forward freezes when switching from an X window to a virtual console.
• When running nimf-forward or nimf-cons in the console, there is a bug where input freezes.

The above bug seems to take a very long time to fix.

You can download it from the Nimf page.

Thank you.
