Version 0.14

  • $(DESTDIR) was not applied to mkdir on the Makefile, which made the Ubuntu package to install badly.

  • Allow the Makefile to handle $(DESTDIR) variable.
  • Support for SUPERKEY_RELEASE_CANCELS, which enables Superkb to execute actions for keys that are still pressed when the Super key is released.
