- │ Release notes for i3 v4.13 │
- └────────────────────────────┘
-
-This is i3 v4.13. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
-strongly encouraged to upgrade.
-
-For users, there are two changes to be aware of:
-
-1. The X server DPI is read from the Xft.dpi X resource (if available).
- Previously, i3 used to directly look at the X server’s DPI (based on screen
- resolution and physical size). Looking at Xft.dpi is more consistent with
- other software, more likely to be correct (because it’s user-specified and
- not read from possibly broken hardware information) and allows users to
- override the value.
-
-2. It is now possible to set config file variables from X resources using the
- “set_from_resource” directive. This allows users to have a single source of
- truth for e.g. theming X11 applications (specify “*color0: #121212” and have
- it apply to URxvt and your i3 config).
-
-For packagers, there are three changes that likely require action:
-
-1. cairo/pango are now required dependencies, as announced in the i3 v4.12
- release notes.
-
-2. The aforementioned “set_from_resource” feature requires the new dependency
- libxcb-util-xrm.
-
-3. i3 now uses the GNU build system (autotools). Please see
- https://github.com/i3/i3/commit/4a52a7e9fb6fb2e1f0256b2e086cfa313f411cd8 for
- a lot more details about the rationale and what this means for your package.
- Bottomline, things should get simpler for you, though :).

- │ Changes in i3 v4.13 │
- └────────────────────────────┘
-
- • build: wire up version handling for non-release tarballs (as opposed to git
- checkouts)
- • build: switch to the GNU build system
- • i3bar: disable pango markup for plain-text input
- • man/i3-msg: point out default ipc message type
- • config: introduce support for specifying variables from X resources
- • config: ensure variables match on longest-length, eliminating problems
- where one variable was a prefix of another
- • config: do not count '\' in comment lines as line continuation
- • ipc: introduce a new GET_BINDING_MODES command
- • ipc: implement new window::mark event
- • ipc: add “output” to IPC events referencing a container
- • make fullscreen windows open on the output which is indicated by their
- geometry (fixes LibreOffice Impress multi-monitor presentations)
- • focus newly managed windows only if they don’t use the globally active
- input mode (fixes issues with RubyMine)
- • remove title indentation in nested containers (rationale was unclear,
- nobody spoke up when we asked about the feature on i3-discuss)
- • use the last known timestamp when calling xcb_set_input_focus (might fix
- rare race conditions in focus handling)
- • introduce the “smart” option for hide_edge_borders, which will hide borders
- when there is precisely one window on the workspace
- • handle _MOTIF_WM_HINTS changes (_MOTIF_WM_HINTS were previously only
- considered when managing a new window)
- • don’t change border style if BS_NORMAL is requested in _MOTIF_WM_HINTS
- • only add numlock fallback for keybindings where necessary (allows users to
- correctly bind keys on the numpad)
- • do not match docks in config and command criteria
- • get DPI from the Xft.dpi resource instead of directly looking at the screen
- resolution/size
- • handle _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW for scratchpad windows (for pagers)
- • set _NET_WM_DESKTOP to sticky for scratchpad windows
- • add new criteria “tiling” and “floating”
- • implement special output name “current” for commands
- • handle ResizeRequests for tray clients (fixes VLC tray icon)
-
- ┌────────────────────────────┐
- │ Bugfixes │
- └────────────────────────────┘
-
- • i3bar: fix crash when the I3SOCK environment variable is present
- • i3-dmenu-desktop: do not die on failed open
- • i3-input: properly position in non-standard cases (fixes an issue where
- i3-input would launch off-screen)
- • i3-save-tree: rename “mark” to “marks” to reflect our recent change to
- allow multiple marks
- • mouse bindings: only grab the mouse buttons that need to be grabbed
- • no_focus: correctly count the number of windows (makes no_focus work with
- tabbed/stacked workspace layouts).
- • properly close disabled outputs restored during a restart (this fixes state
- handling when RandR changes happen during i3 restarts)
- • don’t trigger bindings on window border clicks unless --border was
- specified for the binding
- • traverse numbered workspaces in correct order
- • fix transition from named to numbered workspaces in “workspace next|prev”
- • avoid setting urgency hint on content containers and above (fixes crashes)
- • don’t trigger unrelated key bindings for --release bindings
- • fix colormap handling for containers (fixes taking screenshots using xwd)
- • check output crossing on ENTER_NOTIFY to dockarea (fixes pointer jumping)
- • fix a use-after-free bug (fixes “floating enable” on single split windows)

+ │ 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.
+
+ ┌────────────────────────────┐
+ │ Changes in i3 v4.14 │
+ └────────────────────────────┘
+
+ • build: link libiconv explicitly for systems which need it
+ • build: move AnyEvent-I3 into the i3 repository
+ • docs/hacking-howto: add compilation instructions
+ • docs/ipc: add missing cases to the workspace event
+ • docs/ipc: document the “primary” field of the OUTPUTS reply
+ • docs/ipc: replace Go IPC library with a maintained one
+ • docs/ipc: add link to the ocaml-i3ipc library
+ • docs/ipc: fix invalid trailing commas in JSON examples
+ • docs/layout-saving: add section about troubleshooting window titles
+ • docs/testsuite: update for the move to autotools
+ • docs/userguide: clarify the move command syntax
+ • docs/userguide: correct “Esc” to “Escape”
+ • docs/userguide: clarify focus_follows_mouse behavior

+ • docs/userguide: mention the magic v4 config marker
+ • man/i3.man: correct configuration lookup order
+ • i3bar, i3-config-wizard, i3-nagbar: use the Xft.dpi setting (see 4.13 notes)
+ • i3bar: restart bar status command on reload if it changed
+ • i3bar: treat left/right scrolling like up/down scrolling
+ • i3bar: accept “primary” in the “output” configuration directive
+ • i3-input: do not set input focus, grabbing the keyboard suffices
+ • i3-msg: return an exit code when missing the -t argument
+ • i3-sensible-editor: correct “mc-edit” to “mcedit”
+ • i3-sensible-terminal: add lilyterm, tilix, terminix, konsole
+ • respect SYSCONFDIR when looking for the default xdg directory
+ • use RandR 1.5 to query screens, supporting the TILE property commonly used
+ by multi-stream transport (MST) monitors, such as first-gen 4K monitors, or
+ current 5K and 8K monitors
+ • respect minimum size hints for floating windows
+ • support the _NET_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW client message (for e.g. wmctrl)
+ • validate binding modes are not defined more than once
+ • only react to the last ExposeEvent in a series of events
+ • add the shutdown IPC event (upon “restart” or “exit”)
+ • treat left/right scrolling like up/down scrolling (on window titles)
+ • make the “layout toggle” command optionally take a sequence of layouts
+ • introduce --exclude-titlebar flag for mouse bindings
+ • introduce the “swap” command
+ • support the primary output in the “focus” and “move” commands
