│ Release notes for i3 v4.3 │
|
||||
└──────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
|
||||
This is the third release of the new major version of i3, v4.3. It is
|
||||
considered stable. All users of i3 are strongly encouraged to upgrade.
|
||||
|
||||
One of the most visible changes is probably that commands which lead to an
|
||||
error will now spawn i3-nagbar. This will make you immediately aware of
|
||||
problems such as typos in your configuration file (such as "bindsym $mod+x exc
|
||||
firefox" instead of "exec"). This is not restricted to parser errors, but all
|
||||
errors (such as when trying to move a window to another workspace without
|
||||
actually having a window focused). If this is annoying to you for some specific
|
||||
key configuration, you can turn it off by replacing a binding like:
|
||||
bindsym $mod+x move absolute position center
|
||||
with something like this:
|
||||
bindsym $mod+x exec --no-startup-id i3-msg move absolute position center >/dev/null 2>&1
|
||||
(Yes, this is somewhat painful, but intended. You should not suppress errors in
|
||||
general, so we don’t want to make it too easy.)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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+l (previously "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 commit is that it’s cleaner to have all
|
||||
parameters that influence how windows are rendered in the layout itself
|
||||
rather than having a special parameter in combination with only one
|
||||
layout. 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 version 3 (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
|
||||
in. In case you are working on a very low-spec embedded device, it is easy
|
||||
enough to disable pango support, see common.mk.

|
||||
│ Changes in v4.3 │
|
||||
└────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
|
||||
• docs/refcard: update for v4
|
||||
• docs/userguide: clarify the default for focus_follows_mouse and new_window
|
||||
• docs/userguide: add section about implicit containers
|
||||
• 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.
|
||||
• 'workspace number <number>' now opens a new workspace
|
||||
• 'workspace number <number>' now works with the back_and_forth option
|
||||
• Allow focus with target (criteria) when in fullscreen mode in some cases
|
||||
• Allow focus child/parent when in fullscreen mode
|
||||
• Restrict directional focus when in fullscreen mode
|
||||
• 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
|
||||
• default config: require confirmation when exiting i3
|
||||
• Display i3-nagbar when a command leads to an error.
|
||||
• testcases: complete-run now supports --xtrace
|
||||
• testcases: handle EAGAIN (fixes hangs)
|
||||
• testcases: handle test bailouts
|
||||
• Introduce splith/splitv layouts, remove orientation
|
||||
• 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
|
||||
|
||||
┌────────────────────────────┐
|
||||

|
||||
└────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
|
||||
• Fix floating precision bug when floating windows are moved between outputs.
|
||||
• i3bar won’t crash when full_text is missing or null in the JSON input
|
||||
• When having "workspace number 1" in your config, there will no longer be a
|
||||
stray workspace "number 1".
|
||||
• i3.config.keycodes used bindsym instead of bindcode for the arrow key
|
||||
resizing bindings by mistake
|
||||
• Fix 'move to workspace' when used with criteria
|
||||
• Handle clicks to the very left edge of i3bar
|
||||
• When using i3 -C, don’t send remaining arguments as an IPC command
|
||||

|
||||
• i3bar: inform all clients of new tray selection owner (fixes tray problems
|
||||
with X-Chat and possibly others)
|
||||
• resizing: traverse containers up properly (fixes non-working resizing when
|
||||
having a h-split within a h-split for example)
|
||||
• Fix floating coordinates when moving assigned workspaces
|
||||
• Properly fix floating coordinates when disabling outputs
|
||||
• floating_fix_coordinates: properly deal with negative positions
|
||||
• floating windows: add deco_height only when in normal border mode (fixes
|
||||
initial floating window position/size when using a different default border
|
||||
setting).
|
||||
• Fix moving scratchpad window
|
||||
• Cleanup zero-byte logfile on immediate exit (they are created by i3
|
||||
--get-socketpath for example).
