|

|
|
|
|||
|
|
This is i3 v4.12. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
|
|||
|
|
strongly encouraged to upgrade.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If cairo ≥ 1.14.4 is available, i3 and i3bar will use cairo for rendering
|
|||
|
|
(instead of raw X11 drawing primitives). While this is currently optional,
|
|||
|
|
having cairo ≥ 1.14.4 will be a hard requirement in future release.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This release contains a good number of detail improvements and fixes.

|
|||
|
|

|
|||

|
|||
|
|
• use cairo for all drawing operations
|
|||
|
|
• fix a number of memory leaks, thanks to AddressSanitizer
|
|||
|
|
• no_focus is now suppressed for the first window of a workspace
|
|||
|
|
• “workspace next/prev” now looks for numbered workspaces after reaching the
|
|||
|
|
last workspace (it used to incorrectly only look at named workspaces)
|
|||
|
|
• multiple marks can now be set on a single window (but a mark can still only
|
|||
|
|
be present on one window at a time)
|
|||
|
|
• the “unmark” command now supports criteria
|
|||
|
|
• the “con_id” criterion now supports the special value __focused__
|
|||
|
|
• the “workspace” command now supports the --no-auto-back-and-forth parameter
|

|
|
• the “move window to workspace” command now supports the
|
|||
|

|
|
in the same direction

|
|
• support _NET_WM_USER_TIME’s special 0 value, indicating that a window
|
|||
|
|
should not be focused
|
|||
|
|
• use 32-bit visual by default if available. This reduces graphical glitches
|
|||
|
|
when using transparency (which is still not officially supported)
|
|||
|
|
• the “move position center” command now supports criteria
|
|||
|
|
• specifying invalid match criteria now results in an error instead of
|
|||
|
|
blindly applying the operation to the currently focused window
|
|||
|
|
• allow mouse bindings to run on the root window
|
|||
|
|
• support matching _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NOTIFICATION in criteria
|
|||
|
|
• all criteria are now matched, even when con_id or con_mark are given (used
|
|||
|
|
to be a special case)
|
|||
|
|
• allow the “id” criterion to be specified in any base recognized by
|
|||
|
|
strtol(), not only base 10
|
|||
|
|
• non-true color displays are now supported again (e.g. the Raspberry Pi)

|

|||
|
|
• floating workspaces are no longer available (they were not supported for a
|
|||
|
|
while now)
|
|||
|
|
• floating windows now carry the I3_FLOATING_WINDOW atom so that tools like
|
|||
|
|
compositors can be configured to match on floating windows

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
• i3bar: display short text only on the monitor(s) on which it is necessary
|
|||
|
|
• i3bar: explicitly set cursor using libxcb-cursor if available
|
|||
|
|
• i3bar: fix XEMBED messages
|
|||
|
|
• i3-nagbar: explicitly set cursor using libxcb-cursor if available
|
|||
|
|
• duplicated keybindings are now also detected when one uses bindcode but the
|
|||
|
|
other(s) use(s) bindsym
|
|||
|
|
• keymap fallback for servers without XKB (e.g. TightVNC) has been added
|
|||
|
|
• using pango markup in mode names is now optional, fixing a regression in i3
|
|||
|
|
v4.11 where modes which contained characters such as “<” would break.
|
|||
|
|
• moving windows to a workspace by specifying a mark now works
|
|||
|
|
• the root output is now used when any RandR request fails (for x2go)
|
|||
|
|
• assignments are now marked as run before executing them, preventing endless
|
|||
|
|
loops/crashes when assignments cause another assignment evaluation
|
|||
|
|
• splitting/floating a dock container no longer crashes i3
|
|||
|
|
• correctly compare modifier mask when identifying keybindings (fixes
|
|||
|
|
bindings which use --release)
|
|||
|
|
• no longer fail config validation when there is no newline at the end of
|
|||
|
|
the config file
|
|||
|
|
• scrollwheel buttons are now only grabbed when necessary, allowing the use
|
|||
|
|
of “bindsym button*” or scrolling in windows without focusing them (in case
|
|||
|
|
no “bindsym button*” is present)
|
|||
|
|
• parse con_id in base 16 (affected FreeBSD only)
|
|||
|
|
• fix crash when opening a large number of windows
|
|||
|
|
• reject empty swallow definitions to avoid crashes
|
|||
|
|
• don’t remove SubstructureRedirect event mask temporarily (fixes i3bar
|
|||
|
|
stopping after system suspend)
|
|||
|
|
• move urgent flag before killing the parent to avoid a crash
|
|||
|
|
• correctly validate “kill” command to avoid crashing when “kill” is invoked
|
|||
|
|
on workspace containers
|
|||
|
|
• actually accept the documented “workspace” token as an alternative to “→”
|
|||
|
|
in assign statements
|
|||
|
|
• remove _NET_WM_STATE on withdrawn windows to comply with the spec
|
|||
|
|
• the “border” command now uses logical pixels (relevant for hi-dpi displays)
|
|||
|
|
• “tray_output primary” does not properly fall back and hence was removed
|
|||
|
|
from the default config again
|
|||
|
|
• correctly determine focused workspace when moving workspace to output
|
|||
|
|
• revert to default binding mode before reloading the config file
|
|||
|
|
• correctly interpret _MOTIF_WM_HINTS (endianness-dependent)
