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+l (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.
