# QMK Breaking Change - 2019 Aug 30
|
||||
|
||||
Four times a year QMK runs a process for merging Breaking Changes. A Breaking Change is any change which modifies how QMK behaves in a way that is incompatible or potentially dangerous. We limit these changes to 4 times per year so that users can have confidence that updating their QMK tree will not break their keymaps.
|
||||
|
||||
This document marks the inaugural Breaking Change merge. A list of changes follows.
|
||||
|
||||
## LUFA USB descriptor cleanup
|
||||
|
||||
* Some code cleanups related to the USB HID descriptors on AVR keyboards, to make them easier to read and understand
|
||||
* More information: see https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/4871
|
||||
* No behaviour changes anticipated and no keymaps modified
|
||||
|
||||
## Migrating `ACTION_LAYER_MOMENTARY()` entries in `fn_actions` to `MO()` keycodes
|
||||
|
||||
* `fn_actions` is deprecated, and its functionality has been superseded by direct keycodes and `process_record_user()`
|
||||
* The end result of removing this obsolete feature should result in a decent reduction in firmware size and code complexity
|
||||
* All keymaps affected are recommended to switch away from `fn_actions` in favour of the [custom keycode](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/custom_quantum_functions) and [macro](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/feature_macros) features
|
||||
|
||||
## Update Atreus to current code conventions
|
||||
|
||||
* Duplicate include guards have bypassed the expected header processing behavior
|
||||
* All keymaps affected are recommended to remove duplication of `<keyboard>/config.h` to `<keyboard>/keymaps/<user>/config.h` and only provide overrides at the keymap level
|
||||
|
||||
## Backport changes to keymap language files from ZSA fork
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixes an issue in the `keymap_br_abnt2.h` file that includes the wrong source (`keymap_common.h` instead of `keymap.h`)
|
||||
* Updates the `keymap_swedish.h` file to be specific to swedish, and not just "nordic" in general.
|
||||
* Any keymaps using this will need to remove `NO_*` and replace it with `SE_*`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Update repo to use LUFA as a git submodule
|
||||
|
||||
* `/lib/LUFA` removed from the repo
|
||||
* LUFA set as a submodule, pointing to qmk/lufa
|
||||
* This should allow more flexibility with LUFA, and allow us to keep the sub-module up to date, a lot more easily. It was ~2 years out of date with no easy path to fix that. This prevents that from being an issue in the future
|
||||
|
||||
## Migrating `ACTION_BACKLIGHT_*()` entries in `fn_actions` to `BL_` keycodes
|
||||
|
||||
* `fn_actions` is deprecated, and its functionality has been superseded by direct keycodes and `process_record_user()`
|
||||
* All keymaps using these actions have had the relevant `KC_FN*` keys replaced with the equivalent `BL_*` keys
|
||||
* If you currently use `KC_FN*` you will need to replace `fn_actions` with the [custom keycode](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/custom_quantum_functions) and [macro](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/feature_macros) features
|
||||
|
||||
## Remove `KC_DELT` alias in favor of `KC_DEL`
|
||||
|
||||
* `KC_DELT` was a redundant, undocumented alias for `KC_DELETE`
|
||||
* It has been removed and all its uses replaced with the more common `KC_DEL` alias
|
||||
* Around 90 keymaps (mostly for ErgoDox boards) have been modified as a result

# Breaking Changes
|
||||
|
||||
This document describes QMK's Breaking Change process. A Breaking Change is any change which modifies how QMK behaves in a way that in incompatible or potentially dangerous. We limit these changes so that users can have confidence that updating their QMK tree will not break their keymaps.
|
||||
|
||||
The breaking change period is when we will merge PR's that change QMK in dangerous or unexpected ways. There is a built-in period of testing so we are confident that any problems caused are rare or unable to be predicted.
|
||||
|
||||
## What has been included in past Breaking Changes?
|
||||
|
||||
* [2019 Aug 30](ChangeLog/20190830.md)
|
||||
|
||||
## When is the next Breaking Change?
|
||||
|
||||
The next Breaking Change is scheduled for Nov 29.
|
||||
|
||||
### Important Dates
|
||||
|
||||
* [ ] 2019 Oct 04 - `future` is created. It will be rebased weekly.
|
||||
* [ ] 2019 Nov 01 - `future` closed to new PR's.
|
||||
* [ ] 2019 Nov 01 - Call for testers.
|
||||
* [ ] 2019 Nov 27 - `master` is locked, no PR's merged.
|
||||
* [ ] 2019 Nov 29 - Merge `future` to `master`.
|
||||
* [ ] 2019 Nov 30 - `master` is unlocked. PR's can be merged again.
|
||||
|
||||
## What changes will be included?
|
||||
|
||||
To see a list of breaking change candidates you can look at the [`breaking_change` label](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+label%3Abreaking_change+is%3Apr). New changes might be added between now and when `future` is closed, and a PR with that label applied is not guaranteed to be merged.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want your breaking change to be included in this round you need to create a PR with the `breaking_change` label and have it accepted before `future` closes. After `future` closes no new breaking changes will be accepted.
|
||||
|
||||
Criteria for acceptance:
|
||||
|
||||
* PR is complete and ready to merge
|
||||
* PR has a ChangeLog
|
||||
|
||||
# Checklists

Process:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cd qmk_firmware
|
||||
git checkout master
|
||||
git pull --ff-only
|
||||
git checkout future
|
||||
git rebase master
|
||||
git push --force

# NOTICE: THIS IS A TESTING BRANCH
|
||||
|
||||
This is the `breaking_changes` branch for Aug 2019. You can [read more in the tracking issue](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/issues/6146).
|
||||
|
||||
We encourage you to try this branch out and see if there are any bugs. Our goal is to merge this branch to `master` on Aug 30. Please [report any bugs](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/issues/new?template=bug_report.md) you find.
|
||||
|
||||
Original readme.md continues:
|
||||
|
||||
This is a keyboard firmware based on the [tmk\_keyboard firmware](https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard) with some useful features for Atmel AVR and ARM controllers, and more specifically, the [OLKB product line](https://olkb.com), the [ErgoDox EZ](https://ergodox-ez.com) keyboard, and the [Clueboard product line](https://clueboard.co).
