Release notes for i3 v3.δ
|
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the third version (3.δ, transcribed 3.d) of i3. It is considered stable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This release features tabbing and some more advanced modifications of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
stacking window (see the user’s guide), vim-like marks, support for the
|
|
|
|
|
|
urgency hint, horizontal resizing of containers (finally), modes (which can
|
|
|
|
|
|
make your keybindings a lot simpler), an unlimited amount of workspaces
|
|
|
|
|
|
and several bugfixes (see below for the complete list of changes).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, the configuration file parsing has been rewritten to use a
|
|
|
|
|
|
lex/yacc based lexer/parser. This makes our configuration file more easy to
|
|
|
|
|
|
understand and more flexible from the point of view of a developer. For some
|
|
|
|
|
|
of the new features, you already need the new lexer/parser. To not break your
|
|
|
|
|
|
current configuration, however, the old parser is still included and used by
|
|
|
|
|
|
default. I strongly recommend you to add the flag -l when starting i3 and
|
|
|
|
|
|
switch your configuration file to the new lexer/parser. This should only
|
|
|
|
|
|
require minor changes, if at all. In the next released version of i3, the
|
|
|
|
|
|
old configuration file parsing will be removed!

|
|
|
|
Also, this release includes the testcases which were developed in a separate
|
|
|
|
|
|
branch so far. They use Perl, together with X11::XCB, which you can download
|
|
|
|
|
|
from CPAN. Please make sure you are not doing anything important when running
|
|
|
|
|
|
the testcases, as they may modify your layout and use different workspaces.
|
|
|
|
|
|
They also might, of course, actually find bugs and crash i3 ;-).
