+ │ Release notes for i3 v4.6    │
+ └──────────────────────────────┘
+
+This is the i3 v4.6. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
+strongly encouraged to upgrade.
+
+The main improvement of this release is increased compatibility. We made a few
+tiny code changes and hope that Mathematica and Java applications will work
+better with i3 now. i3-nagbar should work with more terminal emulators than
+before.
+
+For debugging, the shmlog and debuglog commands can be sent via IPC to enable
+shared memory logging while i3 is running. For the large number of users using
+a release version (i.e. a version without shared memory logging by default),
+this will make debugging their issues much simpler.
+
+i3bar now supports click events and can be hidden/shown via an i3 IPC command.
