- │ Release notes for i3 v4.2 │
- └──────────────────────────────┘
-
-This is the second release of the new major version of i3, v4.2. It is
-considered stable. All users of i3 are strongly encouraged to upgrade.
-
-A big change with this release is (again) a new parser for commands. You might
-get the impression that we like rewriting parsers, but check the commit message
-of commit a532f5a for rationale on this decision.
-
-A more visible change to users is the introduction of a scratchpad command:
-This is useful to have a permanent editor session ready whenever you need it.
-Or your music player. Or email client? Or $programming-language REPL? Give it a
-try!
-
-Also, you are finally able to move workspaces between the different outputs if
-you are using multiple monitors. You can rename workspaces on the fly and
-identify named workspaces by their number. So you can rename "1: www" to "1:
-code" with one simple rename command and all your keybindings will still work.
-
-A subtle indicator of the split state of containers has been introduced: In
-case you are in a split container with precisely one window (a situation which
-you could not recognize by looking at your screen previously), i3 will
-highlight the bottom/right border of the split container in a lighter blue.
-This should reduce confusion about whether you are dealing with a split
-container or not.
-
-And finally, i3bar now supports a JSON input protocol, so that with a
-subsequent release of i3status, you will be able to use colors in your bar!

- ┌──────────────────────────────┐
- │ Release notes for i3 v4.3 │
- └──────────────────────────────┘
-
-This is the i3 v4.3. 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+e (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: give 'move <container|workspace> 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. If we forgot
- about a specific one, please open a ticket.
- • IPC: implement GET_VERSION to find out the i3 version
- • i3-dump-log now comes with a massively more helpful error message that
- should cover all the use cases.

- • Prevent moving out of fullscreen containers
- • Add 'move to workspace current' (useful when used with criteria)
- • replace loglevels by a global debug logging
- • make: new makefile layout
- • make: canonicalize path when compiling. This leads to sth like
- ../i3-4.2/src/main.c in backtraces, clearly identifying i3 code.
- • automatically hide i3bar when it’s unneeded (after urgency hints)
- • i3-config-wizard: use the level 0 keysym whenever it’s unambiguous
- • i3-nagbar: use custom scripts to work around different terminal emulators
- using different ways of interpreting the arguments to -e
- • i3-sensible-terminal: add xfce4-terminal

- • Implement hide_edge_borders option
- • Support _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW ClientMessages
- • Set I3_PID atom on the X11 root window
- • Implement i3 --moreversion, handy for figuring out whether you run the
- latest binary which is installed.
- • i3bar: be less strict about the {"version":1} JSON header
- • shm-logging: implement i3-dump-log -f (follow)
- • Implement pango support
- • 'move workspace number n' will now create the workspace if it doesn’t exist
- • Accept slashes in RandR output names
- • Keep startup-notification sequences around for 30s after completion
- • Introduce bindsym --release, which will trigger the binding not on the
- KeyPress event, but on the KeyRelease event (useful for import(1) or
- xdotool(1)).
- • The signalhandler does not offer you to exit i3 anymore. Instead, there is
- 'b' for writing a backtrace to a file in /tmp (if gdb is installed)
- • Remove support for resize increment hints for tiling windows
- • Exit fullscreen mode when 'scratchpad show' is executed while in fullscreen
-

- --get-socketpath for example).
- • Fix resizing floating windows by height

- └──────────────────────────────┘
-
-This is the i3 v4.4. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
-strongly encouraged to upgrade.
-
-An important under-the-hood change is that we now use the same parser
- infrastructure for the configuration file as we do for the commands. This
- makes maintenance and contributions easier and lets us finally escape the
- insanity that is bison/flex.
-
- In case there is a bug and your existing config does not work as expected
- anymore, try using the --force-old-config-parser-v4.4-only flag when starting
- i3 and please report a bug. This option will only be present in v4.4, so if
- you don’t report a bug, you are willingly breaking your own config file.
-
-Apart from that, there have been several little fixes and additions which make
- i3 pay more attention to detail, particularly in the floating window area of
- the code. See the changes/bugfixes list for more information.
-

- │ Release notes for i3 v4.7 │
- └──────────────────────────────┘
-
-This is the i3 v4.7. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
-strongly encouraged to upgrade.
-
-This release features a number of documentation improvements, better error
-messages in various places, better tray compatibility in i3bar, and a number of
-bugfixes.
-
-Relevant from a packaging point of view is that we have switched to the new
-xcb-util-cursor library to get rid of libXcursor. The last remaining big piece
-of Xlib code now is XKB, which we may be able to tackle in upcoming releases
-thanks to the just released libxcb 1.10.
