Adds support for full Urdu typography including diacritics, punctuation, and special symbols. Introduces U+FDFB (ﷻ) mapped to AltGr+Shift+X.

Added hyper:mod2 compatibility option, to maps the virtual modifier Hyper to Mod2; conflicts with NumLock.

Use this option if using Hyper, Super and LevelFive, e.g. for layouts with 5+ levels. The option numpad:mac should be activated as well, in order to enable the numpad.

Fixed shift:break_caps resulting in rEVERSE cAPS if some keys were operated simultaneously with the Shift keys when trying to unlock Caps. (#74)

Fixed CTRL+ALT incomplete key type, which prevented using some key combinations: e.g. Control+Backspace.

Remove the build option xkb-base, which was ineffectual since the migration from autotools to meson in xkeyboard-config 2.35, published 3 years ago. (#532)
