New button-styles:
- `change-view`: Highlighted like `special`,
but with a border at the bottom.
- `character-group`: Like `change-view`, but with less highlighting.
- `placeholder`: Less contrast to the background and does not visually
change when pressed.
- `subtle-highlight`: For highlighting commonly used characters
in accent-views, for example.
New layouts:
- Portuguese
- Slovenian
- Turkish (F-layout)
- Turkish (Q-layout)
Remade layout:
- Portuguese (Brazil): A view for accents has been added.
Changes:
- The new button-styles are used in the available layouts,
where appropriate.
- The top rows of the terminal-layouts are a little taller.
- Squeekboard will choose the wide shape of layouts, for more displays
in horizontal orientation.
- Highlighted buttons now show visual feedback too, when pressed.
- Many layouts have been adjusted,
so that those change their form less when switching views.
- Various small issues have been fixed, to make layouts more consistent.
Development:
- Scaling-tests for many display-types have been added.

Changes:
- 25 wide shapes have been added,
so that every available layout now has a wide shape
- "PgUp" and "PgDn" on the terminal-layouts have been relabeled
to "Page ↑" and "Page ↓"
- The Spanish and French terminal-layouts now have translated key-names
- The Spanish terminal-layout has been updated with the additional
keys that are already available on the US-terminal-layout.
- The wide and base shapes of the German layout had a different
key-arrangement and the wide shape did not have a button to access
additional characters; this has been fixed.
Development:
- Squeekboard's versioning now follows Phosh's versioning
(for example: Squeekboard 1.38 was released in time for Phosh 0.38)
- The build-system has been simplified
- A single Cargo.toml file is used,
instead of assembling it from multiple parts
- Newer dependencies are now used for building Squeekboard by default
- Squeekboard's main development-platform is now Debian Testing
- The layout-files have been cleaned up,
so that those are easier to understand and edit
