- │ Release notes for i3 v4.9 │
- └──────────────────────────────┘
-
-This is i3 v4.9. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
-strongly encouraged to upgrade.
-
-Notable new features include mouse button bindings and improved EWMH
-compatibility, meaning more external pager programs work with i3 now.
-
-Aside from that, this release contains plenty of bugfixes and little
-enhancements.
-
-The new dependency on libxkbcommon ≥ 0.4.0 is notable for distribution
-packages. This dependency allowed us to drop our last direct dependency
-on Xlib :).
-
-It’s also worth mentioning that all i3 repositories are now on GitHub, see
-http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.window-managers.i3.general/1666 for the
-announcement.
