This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are +strongly encouraged to upgrade. + +The main improvement of this release is increased compatibility. We made a few +tiny code changes and hope that Mathematica and Java applications will work +better with i3 now. i3-nagbar should work with more terminal emulators than +before. + +For debugging, the shmlog and debuglog commands can be sent via IPC to enable +shared memory logging while i3 is running. For the large number of users using +a release version (i.e. a version without shared memory logging by default), +this will make debugging their issues much simpler. + +i3bar now supports click events and can be hidden/shown via an i3 IPC command. + + ┌────────────────────────────┐ + │ Changes in v4.6 │ + └────────────────────────────┘ + + • docs/userguide: mention forgotten layout splitv/splith + • docs/multi-monitor: nVidia ≥ 302.17 works just fine + • docs/wsbar: update (we have i3bar now, i3-wsbar is just an example) + • docs/testsuite: Document fixes and workarounds for test failures + • man/i3-msg.man: updated man page to include all options + • lib/i3test: clarify how to identify open_window() windows in i3 commands + • Use a saner sanity check for floating_reposition + • tabbed: floor(), put extra pixels into the last tab + • raise fullscreen windows on top of all other X11 windows + • Draw indicator border only for split layouts + • re-shuffle struct members to save a bit of memory + • Add 'NoDisplay=true' to i3.application.desktop + • Store aspect_ratio instead of weird proportional_{width,height} + • Implement shmlog command + • Implement debuglog command + • Implement unmark command + • actively delete _NET_WORKAREA on startup + • Handle the _NET_REQUEST_FRAME_EXTENTS ClientMessage (java compat) + • i3bar: add click events + • i3bar: fix -b parameter, fix usage description + • i3bar: restore compatibility with libyajl version 1 + • i3bar: unhide hidden i3bar when mode is active + • i3bar: fix font display height in i3bar + • i3bar: introduced i3 command for changing the hidden state and mode + • i3bar: fix wrong placement of i3bar when connecting/disconnecting outputs + • i3bar: draw workspace buttons at x=0 instead of x=1 + • i3-nagbar: take our terminal execution kludge to the next level + • i3-nagbar: Bugfix: -m requires an argument (crashes if none specified) + • i3-dmenu-desktop: run commands when they don’t match a .desktop file + (e.g. enter “i3 layout stacking”) + • i3-dmenu-desktop: honor Path= key + • contrib/dump-asy.pl: Fix $ and & in window titles + • contrib/dump-asy.pl: Display nicer double-quotes + • contrib/gtk-tree-watch.pl: Remove bogus default socket path + + ┌────────────────────────────┐ + │ Bugfixes │ + └────────────────────────────┘ + + • Bugfix: ipc: use correct workspace in workspace change event + • Bugfix: fix floating window size with hide_edge_borders + • Bugfix: Fix parsing of comments in the config file + • Bugfix: Fix error messages for the debug log + • Bugfix: shm_unlink the correct file when handling errors + • Bugfix: Fix shm logging on FreeBSD + • Bugfix: Fix restarting with 32 bit depth windows + • Bugfix: Fix scratchpad_show on non-scratchpad windows + • Bugfix: i3bar: mark IPC fd CLOEXEC + • Bugfix: fix crash when not having tray_output configured + • Bugfix: make sure that resize will take place even if pixel is smaller + than size increments. + • Bugfix: render_con: fix height rounding in aspect ratio computation + • Bugfix: fix problem when moving fullscreen window to scratchpad + • Bugfix: Unmap windows before reparenting them to the root window + (fixes Mathematica) + • Bugfix: update parent urgency hint if a child is removed. + • Bugfix: fix bus error on OpenBSD/sparc64 + • Bugfix: fix focus handling in 'floating disable' on non-visible windows + • Bugfix: ignore spaces in front of default workspace name + • Bugfix: call i3-nagbar correctly for configfiles without the font directive + • Bugfix: resize and center a scratchpad even when a criteria is used. + + ┌────────────────────────────┐ + │ Thanks! │ + └────────────────────────────┘ + +Thanks for testing, bugfixes, discussions and everything I forgot go out to: + + Alexander, Alexander Berntsen, Arun Persaud, badboy, Baptiste Daroussin, + Clément Bœsch, Diego Ongaro, Eelis van der Weegen, Eika Enge, enkore, Eric S. + Raymond, Franck Michea, haptix, HedgeMage, koebi, Layus, Mayhem, Merovius, + necoro, oblique, Philippe Virouleau, phillip, psychon, Simon Elsbrock, Simon + Wesp, Thomas Adam, tobiasu, vandannen, xeen, Yuxuan Shui + +-- Michael Stapelberg, 2013-08-07 diff --git a/man/asciidoc.conf b/man/asciidoc.conf index 5f24d845..aa0639d5 100644 --- a/man/asciidoc.conf +++ b/man/asciidoc.conf @@ -7,7 +7,7 @@ template::[header-declarations] {mantitle} {manvolnum} i3 -4.5.1 +4.6 i3 Manual -- 2.39.5
