│ Release notes for i3 v4.8 │
|
|||
|
|
└──────────────────────────────┘
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
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.
