│ Release notes for i3 v4.9 │
|
|||
|
|
└──────────────────────────────┘
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
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.
