90 * In addition to the proper flex/bison based parser for the config file
91 introduced in 3.δ, we now also have a flex/bison parser for commands. What
92 this means is that we can have more human-readable, beautiful command names
93 instead of cryptic commands like 'f' for fullscreen or 'mh' for move left.
94 In fact, the commands for the aforementioned functions *are* 'fullscreen'
96 * You can now chain commands using ';' (a semicolon). One example for that is
97 'workspace 3 ; exec /usr/bin/urxvt' to switch to a new workspace and open a
99 * You can specify which windows should be affected by your command by using
100 different criteria. A good example is '[class="Firefox"] kill' to get rid
101 of all Firefox windows.
102 * As the configuration file needs new commands (and a few options are
103 obsolete), you need to change it. To make this process a little bit easier
104 for you, this release comes with the script i3-migrate-config-to-v4. Just
105 run it on your current config file and it will spit out a v4 config file to
106 stdout. To make things even better, i3 automatically detects v3 config files
107 and calls that script, so you never end up with a non-working config :).
108 * Similarly to the criteria when using commands, we now have a 'for_window'
109 configuration directive, which lets you automatically apply certain commands
110 to certain windows. Use it to set border styles per window, for example with
111 'for_window [class="XTerm"] border 1pixel'.
112 * Since dock clients (like dzen2) are now part of the layout tree (as opposed
113 to a custom data structure as before), it was easy to implement top and
114 bottom dock areas. Programs which properly specify the dock hint get placed
115 on the edge of the screen they request. i3bar has the -dtop and -dbottom
116 parameters, for example.
117 * The internal workspace bar is obsolete. Use i3bar instead.
118 * Resizing now works between all windows!
119 * Fullscreen now works for everything!
120 * Floating now works for everything!
121 * Your layout is now preserved when doing an inplace restart.
122 * When you have an error in your config file, a new program called i3-nagbar
123 will tell you so. It offers you two buttons: One to view the error in your
124 $PAGER and one to edit your config in your $EDITOR.
125 * The default config used key symbols (like 'bind Mod1+f fullscreen') instead
126 of key codes. If you use a non-qwerty layout, the program i3-config-wizard
127 can create a key symbol based config file based on your current layout. You
128 can also chose between Windows (Mod4) and Alt (Mod1) as your default
129 modifier. i3-config-wizard will automatically be started as long as you
130 don’t have a configuration file for i3.
131 * Custom X cursor themes are now supported.
132 * The RandR backend now respects the primary output.
133 * A wrong 'font' configuration in your config file will no longer make i3
134 exit. Instead, it will fall back to a different font and tell you about the
136 * The default split direction (whether a new window gets placed right next to
137 the current one or below the current one) is now automatically set to
138 horizontal if you have a monitor that is wider than high or vertical if you
139 a monitor which is higher than wide. This works great with rotated monitors.
140 * Sockets and temporary files are now placed in XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, if set (this
141 is used on systemd based systems).
142 * Tools like i3bar, i3-msg etc. use the I3_SOCKET_PATH property which is set
143 to the X11 root window, so you don’t have to configure your socket path
145 * The kill command kills single windows by default now. To kill a whole
146 application, use 'kill client'.
147 * IPC: Commands can now have custom replies. When the parser encounters an
148 error, a proper error reply is sent.
149 * There is now an 'exec_always' configuration directive which works like
150 'exec' but will also be run when restarting.
