+ │ Release notes for i3 v4.7    │
+ └──────────────────────────────┘
+
+This is the i3 v4.7. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
+strongly encouraged to upgrade.
+
+This release features a number of documentation improvements, better error
+messages in various places, better tray compatibility in i3bar, and a number of
+bugfixes.
+
+Relevant from a packaging point of view is that we have switched to the new
+xcb-util-cursor library to get rid of libXcursor. The last remaining big piece
+of Xlib code now is XKB, which we may be able to tackle in upcoming releases
+thanks to the just released libxcb 1.10.
