Release notes for i3 v3.β
|
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the second version (3.β, transcribed 3.b) of i3. It is considered stable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The most important change probably is the implementation of floating clients,
|
|
|
|
|
|
primarily useful for dialog/toolbar/popup/splash windows. When using i3 for
|
|
|
|
|
|
managing floating windows other than the ones mentioned beforehand, please
|
|
|
|
|
|
keep in mind that i3 is a tiling window manager in the first place and thus
|
|
|
|
|
|
you might better use a "traditional" window manager when having to deal a
|
|
|
|
|
|
lot with floating windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now that you’re warned, let’s have a quick glance at the other new features:
|
|
|
|
|
|
* jumping to other windows by specifying their position or window class/title
|
|
|
|
|
|
* assigning clients to specific workspaces by window class/title
|
|
|
|
|
|
* automatically starting programs (such as i3status + dzen2)
|
|
|
|
|
|
* configurable colors
|
|
|
|
|
|
* variables in configfile
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, we now have a user’s guide which should be the first document
|
|
|
|
|
|
you read when new to i3 (apart from the manpage).
