+ │ Release notes for i3 v4.5 │
+ └──────────────────────────────┘
+
+This is the i3 v4.5. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
+strongly encouraged to upgrade.
+
+Most of the changes are cleanups and bugfixes. Due to cleanups, i3 no longer
+ depends on flex/bison at all. Furthermore, libev ≥ 4 is now a hard dependency
+ (libev < 4 is not supported anymore).
+
+One important change to note is that moving windows to a different output will
+ no longer move focus to that output. If you want to have the old behavior,
+ modify the keybindings for moving in your configfile like this:
+
+ bindsym $mod+Shift+1 move workspace 1; workspace 1
