- │ Release notes for i3 v4.14 │
- └────────────────────────────┘
-
-This is i3 v4.14. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
-strongly encouraged to upgrade.
-
-Aside from many bug and documentation fixes, the “swap” command is a notable
-addition of this release. As is almost tradition at this point, keybinding
-handling has seen some fixes as well. A noticeable change for users with such
-monitors is i3’s support for RandR 1.5, which transparently supports the TILE
-property of first-gen 4K monitors and current 5K or 8K monitors.
