┌────────────────────────────┐
│ Release notes for i3 v4.11 │
└────────────────────────────┘
This is i3 v4.11. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
strongly encouraged to upgrade.
Aside from plenty of new features, there are several changes that might result
in behavioral changes, depending on your specific configuration and
environment. As usual, we tried hard to keep the current behavior, and when we
changed behavior, we strongly believe its for the better.
Keyboard binding handling has been made more correct, for details see:
https://github.com/i3/i3/commit/bf3cd41b5ddf1e757515ab5fbf811be56e5f69cc

┌────────────────────────────┐
│ Release notes for i3 v4.12 │
└────────────────────────────┘
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.
┌────────────────────────────┐
│ Changes in i3 v4.12 │
└────────────────────────────┘
• use https instead of git/http, update contact information, add GPG key
• docs/hacking-howto: fix old cfgparse.y reference to config_parser.c
• docs/ipc: added link to i3ipcpp (C++ library)
• docs/userguide: clarify no_focus documentation
• docs/userguide: add documentation for binding modes
• docs/userguide: fix rendering of __focused__
• docs/userguide: improve placement of explicit IDs for headings
• docs/userguide: make rendering of key bindings more consistent
• docs/userguide: clarify quoting of “exec” commands
• man/i3-nagbar: fix example invocation
• man/i3: add “floating window” to terminology
• i3-sensible-*: quote variables correctly
• i3-sensible-editor: add neovim
• i3-sensible-terminal: add termit, st
• i3bar: use cairo for all drawing operations
• i3bar: support per-statusblock border and background colors
• i3bar: support different bar background colors depending on whether the bar
is on the focused output or not
• i3bar: multiple tray_output directives on the same bar are now supported
• i3bar: support disabling the modifier by specifying “modifier none”
• 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
--no-auto-back-and-forth parameter
• the “resize grow|shrink width|height” command now works for a nested split
in the same direction
• support _NET_WM_USER_TIMEs 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)
• the “split” command now has a “toggle” option
• the additional color class “decoration_border” was added
• title_format is now stored on containers instead of windows, allowing the
use of title_format on split containers
• On OpenBSD, i3 now uses pledge(2)
• support _NET_WM_DESKTOP (for pager applications like gnome-panel)
• 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
┌────────────────────────────┐
│ Bugfixes │
└────────────────────────────┘
• 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
• dont 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)
