This release:
Disables ALT_IS_MODE_SWITCH

I hope you are aware of the fact that this is really a "US vs the rest of the world" issue?


For years, I had to keep a ~/.Xmodmap file containing the line

keycode 66 = Mode_switch

On Leopard, for the first time, I didn't need it.
Now with your new release, it's back to square one :-(

I don't even use a French keyboard where this would be an absolutely vital issue, because characters like \|[]{} cannot be typed without the Alt key acting as Mode_switch. I use an ("international") US keyboard, but I sometimes have to type accented characters or umlauts, and for these I need Alt acting as Mode_switch.
