+ │ Release notes for i3 v4.11 │
+ └────────────────────────────┘
+
+This is i3 v4.11. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
+strongly encouraged to upgrade.
+
+Aside from plenty of new features, there are several changes that might result
+in behavioral changes, depending on your specific configuration and
+environment. As usual, we tried hard to keep the current behavior, and when we
+changed behavior, we strongly believe it’s for the better.
+
+Keyboard binding handling has been made more correct, for details see:
+https://github.com/i3/i3/commit/bf3cd41b5ddf1e757515ab5fbf811be56e5f69cc
