It is considered stable. + +This release features tabbing and some more advanced modifications of the +stacking window (see the user’s guide), vim-like marks, support for the +urgency hint, horizontal resizing of containers (finally), modes (which can +make your keybindings a lot simpler), an unlimited amount of workspaces +and several bugfixes (see below for the complete list of changes). + +Furthermore, the configuration file parsing has been rewritten to use a +lex/yacc based lexer/parser. This makes our configuration file more easy to +understand and more flexible from the point of view of a developer. For some +of the new features, you already need the new lexer/parser. To not break your +current configuration, however, the old parser is still included and used by +default. I strongly recommend you to add the flag -l when starting i3 and +switch your configuration file to the new lexer/parser. This should only +require minor changes, if at all. In the next released version of i3, the +old configuration file parsing will be removed! + +Thanks for this release go out to xeen, mist, badboy, Mikael, mxf, Atsutane, +tsdh, litemotiv, shatter, msi, yurifury, dirkson, Scytale, Grauwolf and all +other people who reported bugs/made suggestions. + +A list of changes follows: + + * Implement tabbing (command "T") + * Implement horizontal resize of containers (containers! not windows) + * Implement the urgency hint for windows/workspaces + * Implement vim-like marks (mark/goto command) + * Implement stack-limit for further defining how stack windows should look + * Implement modes which allow you to use a different set of keybindings + when inside a specific mode + * Implement changing the default mode of containers + * Implement long options (--version, --no-autostart, --help, --config) + * Implement 'bt' to toggle between the different border styles + * Use a yacc/lex parser/lexer for the configuration file + * The number of workspaces is now dynamic instead of limited to 10 + * Floating windows (and tiled containers) can now be resized using + floating_modifier and right mouse button + * Dock windows can now reconfigure their height + * Bugfix: Correctly handle multiple messages on the IPC socket + * Bugfix: Correctly use base_width, base_height and size increment hints + * Bugfix: Correctly send fake configure_notify events + * Bugfix: Don’t crash if the numlock symbol cannot be found + * Bugfix: Don’t display a colon after unnamed workspaces + * Bugfix: If the pointer is outside of the screen when starting, fall back to + the first screen. + * Bugfix: Initialize screens correctly when not using Xinerama + * Bugfix: Correctly handle unmap_notify events when resizing + * Bugfix: Correctly warp pointer after rendering the layout + * Bugfix: Fix NULL pointer dereference when reconfiguring screens + + -- Michael Stapelberg, 2009-10-23
