|
||||
This is i3 v4.8. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
|
||||
strongly encouraged to upgrade.
|
||||
|
||||
The biggest new feature certainly is layout saving/restoring. See
|
||||
http://i3wm.org/docs/layout-saving.html for more details. tl;dr: export your
|
||||
current layout as JSON file, load it into new i3 sessions, get placeholder
|
||||
windows that will be replaced by the actual apps once you start them.
|
||||
|
||||
Also very important for owners of HiDPI/“retina” displays is that i3 will now
|
||||
respect your configured DPI and scale up its UI elements accordingly. Use
|
||||
“xrandr --dpi 184” to set your dpi to 184, in case your setup does not figure
|
||||
it out automatically. To get properly scaling fonts, we also changed the
|
||||
default font from a bitmap font to a pango font (“DejaVu Sans Mono 8”).
|
||||
|
||||
Multiple changes improve the compatibility of i3 with other software, e.g.
|
||||
java-based software (focus handling, once again) or external pagers (we now
|
||||
provide _NET_CLIENT_LIST and let pager applications change workspaces).
|
||||
|
||||
For packagers, another change is that yajl ≥ 2.0 is now required for compiling
|
||||
i3. This should not be a problem for anyone, as that version is pretty old by
|
||||
now.
|
||||
|
||||
For contributors, note that we have starting formatting the source code with
|
||||
clang-format-3.5. This means that there will no longer be a need to argue about
|
||||
coding style when discussing patches :).

|
||||
|
||||
This is i3 v4.9. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
|
||||
strongly encouraged to upgrade.
|
||||
|
||||
Notable new features include mouse button bindings and improved EWMH
|
||||
compatibility, meaning more external pager programs work with i3 now.
|
||||
|
||||
Aside from that, this release contains plenty of bugfixes and little
|
||||
enhancements.
|
||||
|
||||
The new dependency on libxkbcommon ≥ 0.4.0 is notable for distribution
|
||||
packages. This dependency allowed us to drop our last direct dependency
|
||||
on Xlib :).
|
||||
|
||||
It’s also worth mentioning that all i3 repositories are now on GitHub, see
|
||||
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.window-managers.i3.general/1666 for the
|
||||
announcement.
