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. + +This release is considered a release candidate for i3 v4.0. We will not make +big changes and plan to release v4.0 in a few weeks. +With this release, we want to gather feedback from you, so please +report any bugs you encounter in our bugtracker at http://bugs.i3wm.org/ + +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), crash handler + • RandR changes, keyboard layout changes + • Dock clients + • Assignments + • Config file compatibility + • i3bar, get it from http://git.merovius.de/ + + -- Michael Stapelberg, 2011-07-15 -- 2.39.5
