+ • ipc: kill misbehaving subscribed clients instead of hanging
+ • ipc: introduce the sync IPC command for synchronization with i3bar
+ • ipc: scratchpad show now returns correct success
+ • ipc: send_tick now sets the already-documented “first” field
+ • i3bar-protocol: add modifiers to events sent by i3bar
+ • dump-asy: use Pod::Usage for --help and perldoc
+ • dump-asy: introduce -gv flag to disable opening ghostview
+ • dump-asy: introduce -save flag to store the rendered tree in a file
+ • dump-asy: add marks
+ • dump-asy: include floating containers
+ • i3bar: add --verbose flag
+ • i3bar: make modifier accept combinations (like floating_modifier)
+ • i3-config-wizard: add --modifier flag to allow for headless config
+ • i3-config-wizard: support startup notifications
+ • i3-msg: only print input + error position if they are set
+ • i3-msg: check replies also in quiet mode (-q)
+ • i3-msg: add support for the SUBSCRIBE message type
+ • i3-nagbar: support startup notifications
+ • i3-nagbar: add option for button that runs commands without a terminal
+ • i3-save-tree: exclude unsupported transient_for property
+ • i3-sensible-terminal: add alacritty
+ • i3-sensible-terminal: add hyper
+ • introduce strip_workspace_name alongside strip_workspace_numbers
+ • introduce title_align config directive
+ • “border toggle” now accepts an optional pixel argument
+ • “resize set” now interprets 0 as “no change”
+ • “resize set” now accepts the “width” and “height” keywords
+ • “resize” with pixel values now works for tiling containers
+ • the optional “absolute” method is now silently ignored in “move position”
+ commands, where it did not cause a visible difference anyway
+ • the _NET_WM_STATE_FOCUSED atom is now supported, resulting in e.g.
+ GTK applications displaying the correct window decoration
+ • moving fullscreen containers now moves them across outputs
+ • floating windows can now be used with a geometry of e.g. +1+1, i.e.
+ their top-left corner can be outside any output as long as the window
+ is contained partially by one
+ • prefer floating fullscreen containers when switching focus
+ • moving containers to an active workspace no longer changes focus
+ • the rename workspace command no longer confuses directions (e.g. “left”)
+ with output names
+ • prefer $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/i3/config over ~/.i3/config
+ • allow multiple assignments of workspaces to output
+ • respect maximum size in WM_NORMAL_HINTS
+ • reject requests for WM_STATE_ICONIC, which avoids e.g. wine
+ applications being stuck in paused state
+ • a number of code refactorings and cleanups, some of which tool-assisted
+

+
+ • build: fix static linking

+ • i3bar: fix chopping the first character on the very left when using the
+ full width of the output

+ • i3bar: fix the tray disappearing in some cases when using "tray_output"
+ • fix various memory leaks and memory correctness issues

+ fixes incorrect behavior with steam and some tk apps
+ • fix focus bugs when moving unfocused containers
+ • fix incorrect urgent window state edge case
+ • moving an unfocused container from inside a split container to another
+ workspace doesn’t focus siblings

+ • fix crash when moving a container to a marked workspace
+ • fix swap when first is behind a fullscreen window
+ • fix crash when renaming an existing workspace to a name assigned to the
+ focused output
+ • reframe swallowed windows if depth doesn’t match
+ • use detectable autorepeat so that --release bindings are run only when
+ the key is actually released (and not when it is repeated)
+ • fix border artifacts when moving windows
+ • correctly handle bindings for the same mod key with and without --release
+ • reset B_UPON_KEYRELEASE_IGNORE_MODS bindings when switching modes

+ • free workspace assignments on reload
+ • fix mouse position at startup with multiple outputs
+ • no longer allow dragging global fullscreen floating containers
+ • fix rendering artifacts with global fullscreen containers
+ • fix disabling floating for scratchpad windows
+ • fix a crash when renaming an unfocused empty workspace matching an
+ assignment
+ • ensure containers have a size of at least 1px after resize
+ • permit invalid UTF-8 in layout JSON files (e.g. for window titles)
+ • correct invalid UTF-8 characters in window and container titles
+ • fix a crash when moving to a child of a floating container
+ • fix a crash when matching __focused__ with no window open
+ • fix no_focus when only using floating windows
+ • fix max_aspect calculation
+ • moving an unfocused container from another output now maintains
+ the correct focus order
+ • don’t change focus order when swapping containers
+ • correctly update _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP when moving containers between outputs
+ using the directional move command
+ • don’t produce move events after attempting to directionally move a container
+ towards a direction it can’t go
+ • fix sticky focus when switching to workspace on different output
