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. - -For contributors, note that we have starting formatting the source code with -clang-format-3.5. This means that there will no longer be a need to argue about -coding style when discussing patches :). - - ┌────────────────────────────┐ - │ Changes in v4.8 │ - └────────────────────────────┘ - - • docs/ipc: reformat/update list of ipc libraries - • docs/ipc: fix current_workspace outputs reply member - • docs/ipc: update ipc COMMAND reply docs - • docs/userguide: fix multiple typos - • docs/debugging: use bzip2 - • docs/debugging: explain how to enable logging on the fly - • docs/debugging: merge the debug symbols/backtrace section - • docs/debugging: recommend i3 --moreversion - • man/i3-nagbar.man: update manpage to document all options - • i3bar: Amend status line error 127 message - • i3bar: don’t kill watcher on EOF, leads to better error messages - • i3bar: send mouse wheel events to child too - • i3bar: do click handling and tray padding retina-correctly - • i3bar: render separators render-correctly - • i3bar: reinit colors on barconfig update - • i3bar: Don't start child unless status_command - • i3bar: implement custom workspace numbers config - • resize floating windows when right-clicking the decoration - • enable shmlog when invoked as i3-with-shmlog - • Disable pointer warps when focus_follows_mouse is disabled - • Movement into a branch considers movement direction - • set ewmh desktop properties on startup - • handle ButtonPress events with child != XCB_NONE - • implement layout restoring - • only LOG() the DPI when it changes, DLOG() it otherwise - • send IPC window events for focus and title changes - • these types of windows are now floating by default: - dialog, utility, toolbar and splash windows, modal windows, windows with an - equal minimum and maximum size - • send last event timestamp with WM_TAKE_FOCUS message - • maintain the _NET_CLIENT_LIST property - • don’t set input focus _and_ send WM_TAKE_FOCUS - • respect CFLAGS in linking command - • fix parallel make - • reset SIGPIPE handler before executing a command - • render default window border width retina-correctly - • draw workspace buttons and padded text blocks retina-correctly - • render resize windows retina-correctly - • delegate click handling to dock clients - • send complete config on barconfig_update - • implement the window::fullscreen_mode ipc event - • make all workspaces starting with "__" internal - • improve error messages for i3-internal workspace names - • allow _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW requests to switch workspaces if they indicate - that they are a pager (following the spec) - • workspace assignments by number - • add configuration option for disabling mouse warping - • set _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW to None when none has focus - • set X-LightDM-DesktopName in i3.xsession.desktop to fix autostart on Ubuntu - • don’t ELOG ipc EOF - • replace all printf()s with D?LOG - • delete ipc socket when exiting, cleanup tmpdir - • default config: switch to DejaVu Sans Mono 8 as default font - • cleanup tmpdir when restarting and not using XDG_RUNTIME_DIR - • Snap pointer to resize bar on drag resize - • Size resizebar according to container size - • Fix clang -Wextra except -Wunused-parameter - • Respect Motif hint for window decorations - - ┌────────────────────────────┐ - │ Bugfixes │ - └────────────────────────────┘ - - • create con pixmaps when not needed - • i3bar: fix resource leak: statusline_ctx needs to be freed first - • tree_split should not split floating cons - • fix memory leak with ipc_receive_message - • fix invalid reads by setting con->window to NULL in tree_close - • fix memory leak when closing windows - • fix memory leak when matching window by criteria - • fix memory leak when matching window by con_id - • ignore dock clients in the resize command - • clear wm_size_hints if they are not set - • resize window check should check for NULL - • fix window event crash with no window - • i3-dmenu-desktop: also quote the %c field code - • new_window and new_float can now be used simultaneously with different - border widths - • fix crash when using multiple for_window statements that move windows - • Set input focus with last timestamp - • handle windows whose WM_TRANSIENT_FOR points to themselve - • don’t overwrite the original size of floating windows when changing border - • don’t errnously render floating fullscreen windows during restart - • ensure floating windows don’t drop out of fullscreen when restarting - • don’t overwrite the window’s geometry after restartingnext - • i3bar: Set `mapped` flag on trayclient creation - • i3bar: don't show "EOF" status line error - - ┌────────────────────────────┐ - │ Thanks!
