What + this means is that we can have more human-readable, beautiful command names + instead of cryptic commands like 'f' for fullscreen or 'mh' for move left. + In fact, the commands for the aforementioned functions *are* 'fullscreen' + and 'move left'! + * You can now chain commands using ';' (a semicolon). One example for that is + 'workspace 3 ; exec /usr/bin/urxvt' to switch to a new workspace and open a + terminal. + * You can specify which windows should be affected by your command by using + different criteria. A good example is '[class="Firefox"] kill' to get rid + of all Firefox windows. + * As the configuration file needs new commands (and a few options are + obsolete), you need to change it. To make this process a little bit easier + for you, this release comes with the script i3-migrate-config-to-v4.pl. Just + run it on your current config file and it will spit out a v4 config file to + stdout. To make things even better, i3 automatically detects v3 config files + and calls that script, so you never end up with a non-working config :). + * Similarly to the criteria when using commands, we now have a 'for_window' + configuration directive, which lets you automatically apply certain commands + to certain windows. Use it to set border styles per window, for example with + 'for_window [class="XTerm"] border 1pixel'. + * Since dock clients (like dzen2) are now part of the layout tree (as opposed + to a custom data structure as before), it was easy to implement top and + bottom dock areas. Programs which properly specify the dock hint get placed + on the edge of the screen they request. i3bar has the -dtop and -dbottom + parameters, for example. + * The internal workspace bar is obsolete. Use i3bar instead. + * Resizing now works between all windows! + * Fullscreen now works for everything! + * Floating now works for everything! + * Your layout is now preserved when doing an inplace restart. + * When you have an error in your config file, a new program called i3-nagbar + will tell you so. It offers you two buttons: One to view the error in your + $PAGER and one to edit your config in your $EDITOR. + * The default config used key symbols (like 'bind Mod1+f fullscreen') instead + of key codes. If you use a non-qwerty layout, the program i3-config-wizard + can create a key symbol based config file based on your current layout. You + can also chose between Windows (Mod4) and Alt (Mod1) as your default + modifier. i3-config-wizard will automatically be started as long as you + don’t have a configuration file for i3. + * Custom X cursor themes are now supported. + * The RandR backend now respects the primary output. + * A wrong 'font' configuration in your config file will no longer make i3 + exit. Instead, it will fall back to a different font and tell you about the + error in its log. + * The default split direction (whether a new window gets placed right next to + the current one or below the current one) is now automatically set to + horizontal if you have a monitor that is wider than high or vertical if you + a monitor which is higher than wide. This works great with rotated monitors. + * Sockets and temporary files are now placed in XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, if set (this + is used on systemd based systems). + * Tools like i3bar, i3-msg etc. use the I3_SOCKET_PATH property which is set + to the X11 root window, so you don’t have to configure your socket path + anywhere. + * The kill command kills single windows by default now. To kill a whole + application, use 'kill client'. + * IPC: Commands can now have custom replies. When the parser encounters an + error, a proper error reply is sent. + * There is now an 'exec_always' configuration directive which works like + 'exec' but will also be run when restarting. + + -- Michael Stapelberg Sun, 31 Jul 2011 22:34:26 +0200 i3-wm (3.e-bf1-3) unstable; urgency=low -- 2.39.5
