+ │ Release notes for i3 v4.10   │
+ └──────────────────────────────┘
+
+This is i3 v4.10. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
+strongly encouraged to upgrade.
+
+This release contains mostly bugfixes, but we felt it was necessary since there
+are two important changes in behavior: we have reverted the pango markup
+parsing by default (introduced with i3 v4.9) and the change in how the
+“workspace” command behaves (introduced with i3 v4.9). Both of them broke some
+user’s setups, which is not acceptable. In order to help us avoid such mistakes
+in the future, please consider using the i3 git version — it is typically
+stable.
