+ │ Release notes for i3 v4.15 │
+ └────────────────────────────┘
+
+This is i3 v4.15. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
+strongly encouraged to upgrade.
+
+Aside from a number of fixes and documentation improvements, a number of
+commands have been extended to be more complete (e.g. “assign”, “resize”).
+
+ ┌────────────────────────────┐
+ │ Changes in i3 v4.15 │
+ └────────────────────────────┘
+
+ • build: AnyEvent::I3 moved to the i3 repository, so that its main consumer,
+ the i3 testsuite, can use new features immediately (such as the tick event,
+ in this case).
+ • docs/hacking-howto: promote “using git / sending patches” and “how to
+ build?” sections
+ • docs/i3bar-protocol: document that pango markup only works with pango fonts
+ • docs/ipc: document focus, nodes, floating_nodes
+ • docs/ipc: urgent: complete the list of container types
+ • docs/ipc: document how to detect i3’s byte order in memory-safe languages
+ • docs/ipc: document the GET_CONFIG request
+ • docs/userguide: fix formatting issue
+ • docs/userguide: explain why Mod4 is usually preferred as a modifier
+ • docs/userguide: use more idiomatic english (full-size, so-called)
+ • docs/userguide: switch from removed goto command to focus
+ • docs/userguide: mention <criteria> in focus
+ • docs/userguide: remove outdated 2013 last-modified date
+ • dump-asy: add prerequisite checks
+ • dump-asy: fix warnings about empty container names
+ • i3-dump-log: enable shmlog on demand

+ • ipc: rename COMMAND to RUN_COMMAND for consistency
+ • ipc: implement tick event for less flaky tests
+ • ipc: add error reply to “focus <window_mode>”
+ • ipc: send success response for nop
+ • default config: add $mod+r to toggle resize mode
+ • default config: use variables for workspace names to avoid repetition
+ • introduce “assign <criteria> [→] [workspace] [number] <workspace>”
+ • introduce “assign <criteria> [→] output left|right|up|down|primary|<output>”
+ • introduce a “focus_wrapping” option (subsumes “force_focus_wrapping”)
+ • introduce percentage point resizing for floating containers:
+ “resize set <width> [px | ppt] <height> [px | ppt]”
+ • introduce “resize set <width> ppt <height> ppt” for tiling windows
+ • rename “new_window” and “new_float” to “default_border” and
+ “default_floating_border” (the old names keep working)
+ • output names (e.g. “DP2”) can now be used as synonyms for monitor names
+ (e.g. “Dell UP2414Q”).
+ • the “swap” command now works with fullscreen windows
+ • raise floating windows to top when they are focused programmatically
+ • _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW: invalidate focus to force SetInputFocus call
+ • make focus handling consistent when changing focus between outputs
+ • round non-integer Xft.dpi values
