-Release notes for i3 v3.a-bf1
------------------------------
-
-This is the first bugfix release (bf1) for version 3.a of i3. We felt it was
-a good idea to release the bugfixes which were collected during the last two
-months so that the users of stable releases (as opposed to users following
-the git tree) enjoy a much better i3.
-
-I’d like to thank all contributors who made this release possible by their
-support and bug reports, especially mist, mxf, Atsutane and ch3ka.
-
-All users of i3 3.a are encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible.
-
-A list of changes follows:
-
- * Bugfix: When entering a stack window with the mouse, set focus to the
- active client in the container the stack window belongs to.
- * Bugfix: Correctly filter out the numlock bit. This fixes i3 not reacting
- to any keybindings after pressing numlock once.
- * Bugfix: Don't crash when Xinerama is disabled.
- * Bugfix: Correctly remove client from container when moving to another
- workspace.
- * Bugfix: Set focus to the client which was previously focused instead of
- the next client in container when moving windows out of a container.
- * Bugfix: Correctly set focus when switching between screens.
- * Bugfix: Don't crash anymore moving focus to another screen under the
- following conditions: The screen you switch to has a lower number of cells
- and/or rows than the current one, you switch focus using your mouse, you
- previously were in a column/row which is not available on the destination
- screen.
- * Bugfix: When switching screens, warp the pointer to the correct
- destination window.
- * Bugfix: Store dock clients per screen, not per workspace.
- * Bugfix: Perform bounds checking for snapped containers.
- * Bugfix: Send clients their absolute position/size (on the root window) in
- generated configure events. This fixes problems with xfontsel, xmaple,
- etc.
- * Bugfix: Correctly update state when moving fullscreen windows across
- workspaces.
- * Bugfix: Correctly restart i3 when not using its absolute path
- * Bugfix: Drag & Drop in GTK applications works now
- * Bugfix: Don't hide non-managed windows (libnotify-popups for example)
- when raising clients in stacked containers.
- * Bugfix: Correctly restore focus when leaving fullscreen mode
- * Bugfix: Re-distribute free space when closing customly resized containers,
- re-evaluate for other containers
- * Bugfix: When moving windows into different containers, insert them at the
- correct position.
- * Bugfix: Correctly set focus when moving windows into other containers
- * Implement scrolling on stack windows and on the bottom bar.
- * Create i3-wm-dbg with debug symbols
- * Don't rely on libxcb-wm any longer, as it got removed in libxcb 0.3.4.

-Release notes for i3 v3.β
------------------------------
-
-This is the second version (3.β, transcribed 3.b) of i3. It is considered stable.
-
-The most important change probably is the implementation of floating clients,
-primarily useful for dialog/toolbar/popup/splash windows. When using i3 for
-managing floating windows other than the ones mentioned beforehand, please
-keep in mind that i3 is a tiling window manager in the first place and thus
-you might better use a "traditional" window manager when having to deal a
-lot with floating windows.
-
-Now that you’re warned, let’s have a quick glance at the other new features:
- * jumping to other windows by specifying their position or window class/title
- * assigning clients to specific workspaces by window class/title
- * automatically starting programs (such as i3status + dzen2)
- * configurable colors
- * variables in configfile
-
-Furthermore, we now have a user’s guide which should be the first document
-you read when new to i3 (apart from the manpage).
-
-Thanks for this release go out to mist, Atsutane, ch3ka, urs, Moredread,
-badboy and all other people who reported bugs/made suggestions.
-
-A list of changes follows:
-
- * Bugfix: Correctly handle col-/rowspanned containers when setting focus.
- * Bugfix: Correctly handle col-/rowspanned containers when snapping.
- * Bugfix: Force reconfiguration of all windows on workspaces which are
- re-assigned because a screen was detached.
- * Bugfix: Several bugs in resizing table columns fixed.
- * Bugfix: Resizing should now work correctly in all cases.
- * Bugfix: Correctly re-assign dock windows when workspace is destroyed.
- * Bugfix: Correctly handle Mode_switch modifier.
- * Bugfix: Don't raise clients in fullscreen mode.
- * Bugfix: Re-assign dock windows to different workspaces when a workspace
- is detached.
- * Bugfix: Fix crash because of workspace-pointer which did not get updated
- * Bugfix: Correctly initialize screen when Xinerama is disabled.
- * Bugfix: Fullscreen window movement and focus problems fixed
- * Implement jumping to other windows by specifying their position or
- window class/title.
- * Implement jumping back by using the focus stack.
- * Implement autostart (exec-command in configuration file).
- * Implement floating.
- * Implement automatically assigning clients on specific workspaces.
- * Implement variables in configfile.
- * Colors are now configurable.

-Release notes for i3 v3.δ
------------------------------
-
-This is the third version (3.δ, transcribed 3.d) of i3. It is considered stable.
-
-This release features tabbing and some more advanced modifications of the
-stacking window (see the user’s guide), vim-like marks, support for the
-urgency hint, horizontal resizing of containers (finally), modes (which can
-make your keybindings a lot simpler), an unlimited amount of workspaces
-and several bugfixes (see below for the complete list of changes).
-
-Furthermore, the configuration file parsing has been rewritten to use a
-lex/yacc based lexer/parser. This makes our configuration file more easy to
-understand and more flexible from the point of view of a developer. For some
-of the new features, you already need the new lexer/parser. To not break your
-current configuration, however, the old parser is still included and used by
-default. I strongly recommend you to add the flag -l when starting i3 and
-switch your configuration file to the new lexer/parser. This should only
-require minor changes, if at all. In the next released version of i3, the
-old configuration file parsing will be removed!
-
-Also, this release includes the testcases which were developed in a separate
-branch so far. They use Perl, together with X11::XCB, which you can download
-from CPAN. Please make sure you are not doing anything important when running
-the testcases, as they may modify your layout and use different workspaces.
-They also might, of course, actually find bugs and crash i3 ;-).
-
-Thanks for this release go out to xeen, mist, badboy, Mikael, mxf, Atsutane,
-tsdh, litemotiv, shatter, msi, yurifury, dirkson, Scytale, Grauwolf and all
-other people who reported bugs/made suggestions.
-
-A list of changes follows:
-
- * Implement tabbing (command "T")
- * Implement horizontal resize of containers (containers! not windows)
- * Implement the urgency hint for windows/workspaces
- * Implement vim-like marks (mark/goto command)
- * Implement stack-limit for further defining how stack windows should look
- * Implement modes which allow you to use a different set of keybindings
- when inside a specific mode
- * Implement changing the default mode of containers
- * Implement long options (--version, --no-autostart, --help, --config)
- * Implement 'bt' to toggle between the different border styles
- * Implement an option to specify the default border style
- * Use a yacc/lex parser/lexer for the configuration file
- * The number of workspaces is now dynamic instead of limited to 10
- * Floating windows (and tiled containers) can now be resized using
- floating_modifier and right mouse button
- * Dock windows can now reconfigure their height
- * Bugfix: Correctly handle multiple messages on the IPC socket
- * Bugfix: Correctly use base_width, base_height and size increment hints
- * Bugfix: Correctly send fake configure_notify events
- * Bugfix: Don’t crash if the numlock symbol cannot be found
- * Bugfix: Don’t display a colon after unnamed workspaces
- * Bugfix: If the pointer is outside of the screen when starting, fall back to
- the first screen.
- * Bugfix: Initialize screens correctly when not using Xinerama
- * Bugfix: Correctly handle unmap_notify events when resizing
- * Bugfix: Correctly warp pointer after rendering the layout
- * Bugfix: Fix NULL pointer dereference when reconfiguring screens

-Release notes for i3 tree-pr1
------------------------------
-
-This is a PREVIEW RELEASE for the tree branch. It is *NOT* part of i3’s regular
-releases and should *NOT* be packaged in the usual way for distributions.
-Instead, provide a separate, unofficial package if possible.
-
-The so called tree branch is the place where the next version of i3 is
-developed. This time, we did a major code refactoring bringing many changes.
-The idea is to use a tree as datastructure instead of separate lists (like one
-for outputs, workspaces and a table for storing your window layout).
-
-Quite a few advantages arise from this new data structure. The most prominent
-ones will be a slightly different look and feel, the possibility to store your
-layout and restore it later, correct resizing, a much cleaner command parser
-and more little improvements.
-
-As this is a preview release, some things are not working yet. Generally,
-though, the core developers are using it already and think it’s good enough to
-try it out. With this release, we want to gather feedback from you, so please
-report any bugs you encounter in our bugtracker at http://i3.zekjur.net/bugs
-
-What should be working in this release?
----------------------------------------
-
- • Basic window management, navigation, moving
- • Fullscreen mode, correct aspect ratio
- • Stacked/Tabbed layout, floating mode
- • Splitting (for fancy layouts), resizing
- • Restarts, preserving the layout
- • i3bar, get it from http://git.merovius.de/
-
-If any of these features do not work (correctly), please file a bugreport.
-
-What is not working in this release?
-------------------------------------
-
- • RandR changes (i3 needs to be restarted)
- • Assignments
- • Configfile compatibility
- • Workspace switching is sometimes not working. If you find a pattern, please
- report it.
- • There are still some bugs in resizing. Please report!
