│ Release notes for i3 v4.1 │

|
|
||||||
|
This is the second release of the new major version of i3, v4.1. It brings some
|
||||||
|
new (and long-awaited) features, the most prominent being tray support in i3bar
|
||||||
|
(for NetworkManager, Skype, etc.).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The assign syntax has changed to support criteria now. Also, criteria support
|
||||||
|
regular expressions (using PCRE) now. Check the userguide for the new syntax.
|
||||||
|
i3-nagbar will automatically display a warning when you use the old syntax.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
i3 now supports startup notifications, meaning that during an application
|
||||||
|
starts up, the mouse cursor will change to 'watch' on the root window. Also,
|
||||||
|
the application window will appear on the workspace on which it was launched
|
||||||
|
(not on the currently focused workspace). Some applications don’t support
|
||||||
|
startup notifications. If the cursor change bothers you, turn it off by using
|
||||||
|
the --no-startup-id flag (see the userguide).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This release has been in use by many users and is considered stable. Please
|
||||||
|
upgrade.
