1 Release notes for i3 v3.a-bf1
2 -----------------------------
4 This is the first bugfix release (bf1) for version 3.a of i3. We felt it was
5 a good idea to release the bugfixes which were collected during the last two
6 months so that the users of stable releases (as opposed to users following
7 the git tree) enjoy a much better i3.
9 I’d like to thank all contributors who made this release possible by their
10 support and bug reports, especially mist, mxf, Atsutane and ch3ka.
12 All users of i3 3.a are encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible.
14 A list of changes follows:
16 * Bugfix: When entering a stack window with the mouse, set focus to the
17 active client in the container the stack window belongs to.
18 * Bugfix: Correctly filter out the numlock bit. This fixes i3 not reacting
19 to any keybindings after pressing numlock once.
20 * Bugfix: Don't crash when Xinerama is disabled.
21 * Bugfix: Correctly remove client from container when moving to another
23 * Bugfix: Set focus to the client which was previously focused instead of
24 the next client in container when moving windows out of a container.
25 * Bugfix: Correctly set focus when switching between screens.
26 * Bugfix: Don't crash anymore moving focus to another screen under the
27 following conditions: The screen you switch to has a lower number of cells
28 and/or rows than the current one, you switch focus using your mouse, you
29 previously were in a column/row which is not available on the destination
31 * Bugfix: When switching screens, warp the pointer to the correct

34 * Bugfix: Perform bounds checking for snapped containers.
35 * Bugfix: Send clients their absolute position/size (on the root window) in
36 generated configure events. This fixes problems with xfontsel, xmaple,
38 * Bugfix: Correctly update state when moving fullscreen windows across
40 * Bugfix: Correctly restart i3 when not using its absolute path
41 * Bugfix: Drag & Drop in GTK applications works now
42 * Bugfix: Don't hide non-managed windows (libnotify-popups for example)
43 when raising clients in stacked containers.
44 * Bugfix: Correctly restore focus when leaving fullscreen mode
45 * Bugfix: Re-distribute free space when closing customly resized containers,
46 re-evaluate for other containers
