This is the third release of the new major version of i3, v4.3. It is
considered stable. All users of i3 are strongly encouraged to upgrade.
One of the most visible changes is probably that commands which lead to an
error will now spawn i3-nagbar. This will make you immediately aware of
problems such as typos in your configuration file (such as "bindsym $mod+x exc
firefox" instead of "exec"). This is not restricted to parser errors, but all
errors (such as when trying to move a window to another workspace without
actually having a window focused). If this is annoying to you for some specific
key configuration, you can turn it off by replacing a binding like:
bindsym $mod+x move absolute position center
with something like this:
bindsym $mod+x exec --no-startup-id i3-msg move absolute position center >/dev/null 2>&1
(Yes, this is somewhat painful, but intended. You should not suppress errors in
general, so we dont want to make it too easy.)
One rather visible change is that commands which could not be parsed properly
will now spawn i3-nagbar. In case you used "bindsym $mod+x firefox" (and
forgot the "exec" keyword) or you made a typo in your config, you will now
notice that :).
We also made the orientation (horizontal/vertical) part of the layout
mechanism: Before, we got the default layout and you could change
