You might -get the impression that we like rewriting parsers, but check the commit message -of commit a532f5a for rationale on this decision. - -A more visible change to users is the introduction of a scratchpad command: -This is useful to have a permanent editor session ready whenever you need it. -Or your music player.

This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are -strongly encouraged to upgrade. - -One rather visible change is that commands which could not be parsed properly - will now spawn i3-nagbar. In case you used "bindsym $mod+x firefox" (and - forgot the "exec" keyword) or you made a typo in your config, you will now - notice that :). - - -We also made the orientation (horizontal/vertical) part of the layout - mechanism: Before, we got the default layout and you could change - orientation. Now, there are two new layouts "splitv" and "splith", which - replace the default layout. The "split h" and "split v" commands continue to - work as before, they split the current container and you will end up in a - split container with layout splith (after "split h") or splitv (after - "split v"). - - To change a splith container into a splitv container, use either "layout - splitv" or "layout toggle split". The latter command is used in the - default config as mod+e (formerly "layout default"). In case you have - "layout default" in your config file, it is recommended to just replace - it by "layout toggle split", which will work as "layout default" did - before when pressing it once, but toggle between horizontal/vertical - when pressing it repeatedly. - - The rationale behind this change is that it’s cleaner to have all - parameters that influence how windows are rendered in the layout itself - rather than having one special layout in combination with an additional - orientation. This enables us to change existing split containers in all - cases without breaking existing features (see ticket #464). Also, users - should feel more confident about whether they are actually splitting or - just changing an existing split container now. - - As a nice side-effect, this commit brings back the "layout toggle" - feature we once had in i3 v3 (see the userguide). - - -Another very important change is that we now support pango for rendering text. - The default is still to use misc-fixed (X core fonts), but you can use a font - specification starting with "xft:" now, such as "xft:DejaVu Sans Mono 10" and - i3 will use pango. The sole motivation for this is NOT to have fancier window - decorations, but to support fonts which have more glyphs (think Japanese for - example) and to support right-to-left rendering (open http://www.ftpal.net/ - for an example). Supporting users from all over the planet is important, and - as such I would strongly advise distribution packagers to leave pango support - enabled. In case you are working on a very low-spec embedded device, it is - easy enough to disable pango support, see common.mk. - - -Also, the 'layout' command now always works on the parent split container. This - allows you to do things like this: - - for_window [class="XTerm"] layout tabbed - - When you now open XTerm on an empty workspace, the whole workspace will be - set to tabbed. In case you want to open XTerm in its own tabbed split - container, you need to split before: - - for_window [class="XTerm"] split v, layout tabbed - - -Furthermore, we decided to entirely ignore resize increment size hints for - tiling windows. These are set by terminal emulators (such as urxvt, - gnome-terminal, …) and specify that the window may only be resized in - multiples of the specified size. All terminal emulators cope with the window - manager ignoring these hints and by doing so, they can decide what to do with - the lost space (that is, pseudo-transparency now works without black bars in - urxvt). - - ┌────────────────────────────┐ - │ Changes in v4.3 │ - └────────────────────────────┘ - - • docs: there now is documentation about lib::i3test and lib::i3test::Test, - the main Perl modules used by our testsuite. - • docs/refcard: update for v4 - • docs/userguide: clarify the default for focus_follows_mouse and new_window - • docs/userguide: add section about implicit containers - • docs/userguide: give 'move to output' its own section - • docs/ipc: document the 'window' field in the GET_TREE reply - • docs/ipc: update links to ipc libraries - • docs/ipc: make the reply sections consistent - • docs/i3bar-protocol: add example (illustration-only!) shell script - • man/i3bar.man: reference i3bar-protocol - • IPC: Commands now lead to proper error messages in general.
