- │ Release notes for i3 v4.8 │
- └──────────────────────────────┘
-
-This is i3 v4.8. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
-strongly encouraged to upgrade.
-
-The biggest new feature certainly is layout saving/restoring. See
-http://i3wm.org/docs/layout-saving.html for more details. tl;dr: export your
-current layout as JSON file, load it into new i3 sessions, get placeholder
-windows that will be replaced by the actual apps once you start them.
-
-Also very important for owners of HiDPI/“retina” displays is that i3 will now
-respect your configured DPI and scale up its UI elements accordingly. Use
-“xrandr --dpi 184” to set your dpi to 184, in case your setup does not figure
-it out automatically. To get properly scaling fonts, we also changed the
-default font from a bitmap font to a pango font (“DejaVu Sans Mono 8”).
-
-Multiple changes improve the compatibility of i3 with other software, e.g.
-java-based software (focus handling, once again) or external pagers (we now
-provide _NET_CLIENT_LIST and let pager applications change workspaces).
-
-For packagers, another change is that yajl ≥ 2.0 is now required for compiling
-i3. This should not be a problem for anyone, as that version is pretty old by
-now.
-
-For contributors, note that we have starting formatting the source code with
-clang-format-3.5. This means that there will no longer be a need to argue about
-coding style when discussing patches :).

+ │ 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.
+
+ ┌────────────────────────────┐
+ │ Changes in v4.9 │
+ └────────────────────────────┘

+ • i3.xsession.desktop: set DesktopNames (which gdm uses)
+ • i3-save-tree: interpret commandline parameters as utf-8
+ • i3-save-tree: add 'mark' as allowed key to i3-save-tree output
+ • i3bar-protocol: ensure align = left is the default
+ • i3bar: implement custom mouse wheel commands
+ • i3bar: improve error message when a full_text property is missing
+ • i3bar: respect the urgency flag on status blocks
+ • i3bar: inset the urgent background of a status block for consistency with
+ workspace buttons
+ • i3bar: suspend the child when bars are fully obscured
+ • i3bar: use Pango markup
+ • ipc: implement the window::close event
+ • ipc: implement the window::move event

+ • ipc: add deco_rect property to con in ipc response
+ • ipc: include workspace con in workspace event
+ • ewmh: implement property _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS
+ • ewmh: implement property _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT
+ • ewmh: implement property _NET_DESKTOP_NAMES
+ • ewmh: handle _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP requests

+ • “workspace <n>” and “move to workspace <n>” now look for a workspace
+ starting with number <n> (unless there is a workspace exactly matching that
+ number). I.e., “workspace 4” will go to a workspace called “4: www” unless
+ you have a workspace “4”
+ • “focus <direction>” now focuses floating containers when there are no
+ tiling containers on the destination output
+ • take the motif border into account when calculating floating window
+ geometry
+ • revert “Disable pointer warps when focus_follows_mouse is disabled” as it
+ was unexpected by a number of users. Sorry for the back-and-forth
+ • handle WM_CLASS changes
+ • raise floating windows on “focus <direction>”
+ • align lower line of bar decoration to border width
+ • parse tray_output as a word, not string
+ • allow to validate the config file without X
+ • do not resend focus on click, fixes compatibility problems with some wine
+ or mono apps (e.g. Office 2010)
+ • don't draw borders wider than actual width
+ • prevent workspace change during global fullscreen
+ • extend the fullscreen command (fullscreen <enable|toggle|disable> [global])
+ • fix start_application() doc about which shell is used

+ • don’t focus unmapped container on manage
+ • create the directory for storing the restart state
+ • avoid changing border width when changing containers from tiling to
+ floating
+ • layout saving: properly restore workspace containers
+ • rerender the decoration when the container requires a pixmap and doesn’t
+ have one

+ • properly handle windows unsetting WM_TRANSIENT_FOR
+ • use the command parser to properly extract workspace names
+ • copy binding before run (fixes reloads)
+ • revert "Bugfix: Set input focus with last timestamp"
+ • render floating windows during global fullscreen
+ • actually parse client.placeholder
