Release notes for i3 tree-pr4
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This is the fourth PREVIEW RELEASE for the tree branch. It is *NOT* part of
|
||||
i3’s regular releases and should *NOT* be packaged in the usual way for
|
||||
distributions. Instead, provide a separate, unofficial package if possible.
|
||||
|
||||
The so called tree branch is the place where the next version of i3 is
|
||||
developed. This time, we did a major code refactoring bringing many changes.
|
||||
The idea is to use a tree as datastructure instead of separate lists (like one
|
||||
for outputs, workspaces and a table for storing your window layout).
|
||||
|
||||
Quite a few advantages arise from this new data structure. The most prominent
|
||||
ones will be a slightly different look and feel, the possibility to store your
|
||||
layout and restore it later, correct resizing, a much cleaner command parser
|
||||
and more little improvements.
|
||||
|
||||
This release is considered a release candidate for i3 v4.0. We will not make
|
||||
big changes and plan to release v4.0 in a few weeks.
|
||||
With this release, we want to gather feedback from you, so please
|
||||
report any bugs you encounter in our bugtracker at http://bugs.i3wm.org/
|
||||
|
||||
