└────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
|
||||
This is i3 v4.12. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
|
||||
strongly encouraged to upgrade.
|
||||
|
||||
If cairo ≥ 1.14.4 is available, i3 and i3bar will use cairo for rendering
|
||||
(instead of raw X11 drawing primitives). While this is currently optional,
|
||||
having cairo ≥ 1.14.4 will be a hard requirement in future release.
|
||||
|
||||
This release contains a good number of detail improvements and fixes.

• fix a number of memory leaks, thanks to AddressSanitizer
|
||||
• no_focus is now suppressed for the first window of a workspace
|
||||
• “workspace next/prev” now looks for numbered workspaces after reaching the
|
||||
last workspace (it used to incorrectly only look at named workspaces)
|
||||
• multiple marks can now be set on a single window (but a mark can still only
|
||||
be present on one window at a time)
|
||||
• the “unmark” command now supports criteria

|
||||
blindly applying the operation to the currently focused window
|
||||
• allow mouse bindings to run on the root window
|
||||
• support matching _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NOTIFICATION in criteria
|
||||
• all criteria are now matched, even when con_id or con_mark are given (used
|
||||
to be a special case)
|
||||
• allow the “id” criterion to be specified in any base recognized by
|
||||
strtol(), not only base 10
|
||||
• non-true color displays are now supported again (e.g. the Raspberry Pi)
|
||||
• the “split” command now has a “toggle” option
|
||||
• the additional color class “decoration_border” was added
|
||||
• title_format is now stored on containers instead of windows, allowing the
|
||||
use of title_format on split containers

|
||||
• floating workspaces are no longer available (they were not supported for a
|
||||
while now)

|
||||
compositors can be configured to match on floating windows

|
||||
┌────────────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ Bugfixes │
|
||||
└────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
|
||||
• i3bar: display short text only on the monitor(s) on which it is necessary
|
||||
• i3bar: explicitly set cursor using libxcb-cursor if available
|
||||
• i3bar: fix XEMBED messages
|
||||
• i3-nagbar: explicitly set cursor using libxcb-cursor if available
|
||||
• duplicated keybindings are now also detected when one uses bindcode but the
|
||||
other(s) use(s) bindsym
|
||||
• keymap fallback for servers without XKB (e.g. TightVNC) has been added
|
||||
• using pango markup in mode names is now optional, fixing a regression in i3
|
||||
v4.11 where modes which contained characters such as “<” would break.
|
||||
• moving windows to a workspace by specifying a mark now works
|
||||
• the root output is now used when any RandR request fails (for x2go)

|
||||
loops/crashes when assignments cause another assignment evaluation
|
||||

|
||||
• correctly compare modifier mask when identifying keybindings (fixes
|
||||
bindings which use --release)
|
||||
• no longer fail config validation when there is no newline at the end of
|
||||
the config file
|
||||
• scrollwheel buttons are now only grabbed when necessary, allowing the use
|
||||
of “bindsym button*” or scrolling in windows without focusing them (in case
|
||||
no “bindsym button*” is present)
|
||||
• parse con_id in base 16 (affected FreeBSD only)
|
||||
• fix crash when opening a large number of windows
|
||||
• reject empty swallow definitions to avoid crashes
|
||||

|
||||
stopping after system suspend)
|
||||
• move urgent flag before killing the parent to avoid a crash
|
||||
• correctly validate “kill” command to avoid crashing when “kill” is invoked
|
||||
on workspace containers
|
||||
• actually accept the documented “workspace” token as an alternative to “→”
|
||||
in assign statements
|
||||
• remove _NET_WM_STATE on withdrawn windows to comply with the spec
|
||||
• the “border” command now uses logical pixels (relevant for hi-dpi displays)
|
||||
• “tray_output primary” does not properly fall back and hence was removed
|
||||
from the default config again
|
||||
• correctly determine focused workspace when moving workspace to output
|
||||
• revert to default binding mode before reloading the config file
|
||||
• correctly interpret _MOTIF_WM_HINTS (endianness-dependent)

┌────────────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ Release notes for i3 v4.13 │
|
||||
└────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
|
||||
This is i3 v4.13. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
|
||||
strongly encouraged to upgrade.
|
||||
|
||||
For users, there are two changes to be aware of:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The X server DPI is read from the Xft.dpi X resource (if available).
|
||||
Previously, i3 used to directly look at the X server’s DPI (based on screen
|
||||
resolution and physical size). Looking at Xft.dpi is more consistent with
|
||||
other software, more likely to be correct (because it’s user-specified and
|
||||
not read from possibly broken hardware information) and allows users to
|
||||
override the value.
|
||||
|
||||
2. It is now possible to set config file variables from X resources using the
|
||||
“set_from_resource” directive. This allows users to have a single source of
|
||||
truth for e.g. theming X11 applications (specify “*color0: #121212” and have
|
||||
it apply to URxvt and your i3 config).
|
||||
|
||||
For packagers, there are three changes that likely require action:
|
||||
|
||||
1. cairo/pango are now required dependencies, as announced in the i3 v4.12
|
||||
release notes.
|
||||
|
||||
2. The aforementioned “set_from_resource” feature requires the new dependency
|
||||
libxcb-util-xrm.
|
||||
|
||||
3. i3 now uses the GNU build system (autotools). Please see
|
||||
https://github.com/i3/i3/commit/4a52a7e9fb6fb2e1f0256b2e086cfa313f411cd8 for
|
||||
a lot more details about the rationale and what this means for your package.
|
||||
Bottomline, things should get simpler for you, though :).

┌────────────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ Changes in i3 v4.13 │
|
||||
└────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
|
||||
• build: wire up version handling for non-release tarballs (as opposed to git
|
||||
checkouts)
|
||||
• build: switch to the GNU build system
|
||||
• i3bar: disable pango markup for plain-text input
|
||||
• man/i3-msg: point out default ipc message type
|
||||
• config: introduce support for specifying variables from X resources
|
||||
• config: ensure variables match on longest-length, eliminating problems
|
||||
where one variable was a prefix of another
|
||||
• config: do not count '\' in comment lines as line continuation
|
||||
• ipc: introduce a new GET_BINDING_MODES command
|
||||
• ipc: implement new window::mark event
|
||||
• ipc: add “output” to IPC events referencing a container
|
||||
• make fullscreen windows open on the output which is indicated by their
|
||||
geometry (fixes LibreOffice Impress multi-monitor presentations)
|
||||
• focus newly managed windows only if they don’t use the globally active
|
||||
input mode (fixes issues with RubyMine)
|
||||
• remove title indentation in nested containers (rationale was unclear,
|
||||
nobody spoke up when we asked about the feature on i3-discuss)
|
||||
• use the last known timestamp when calling xcb_set_input_focus (might fix
|
||||
rare race conditions in focus handling)
|
||||
• introduce the “smart” option for hide_edge_borders, which will hide borders
|
||||
when there is precisely one window on the workspace
|
||||
• handle _MOTIF_WM_HINTS changes (_MOTIF_WM_HINTS were previously only
|
||||
considered when managing a new window)
|
||||
• don’t change border style if BS_NORMAL is requested in _MOTIF_WM_HINTS
|
||||
• only add numlock fallback for keybindings where necessary (allows users to
|
||||
correctly bind keys on the numpad)
|
||||
• do not match docks in config and command criteria
|
||||
• get DPI from the Xft.dpi resource instead of directly looking at the screen
|
||||
resolution/size
|
||||
• handle _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW for scratchpad windows (for pagers)
|
||||
• set _NET_WM_DESKTOP to sticky for scratchpad windows
|
||||
• add new criteria “tiling” and “floating”
|
||||
• implement special output name “current” for commands
|
||||
• handle ResizeRequests for tray clients (fixes VLC tray icon)

||||
|
||||
┌────────────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ Bugfixes │
|
||||
└────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
|
||||
• i3bar: fix crash when the I3SOCK environment variable is present
|
||||
• i3-dmenu-desktop: do not die on failed open
|
||||
• i3-input: properly position in non-standard cases (fixes an issue where
|
||||
i3-input would launch off-screen)
|
||||
• i3-save-tree: rename “mark” to “marks” to reflect our recent change to
|
||||
allow multiple marks
|
||||
• mouse bindings: only grab the mouse buttons that need to be grabbed
|
||||
• no_focus: correctly count the number of windows (makes no_focus work with
|
||||
tabbed/stacked workspace layouts).
|
||||
• properly close disabled outputs restored during a restart (this fixes state
|
||||
handling when RandR changes happen during i3 restarts)
|
||||
• don’t trigger bindings on window border clicks unless --border was
|
||||
specified for the binding
|
||||
• traverse numbered workspaces in correct order
|
||||
• fix transition from named to numbered workspaces in “workspace next|prev”
|
||||

|
||||
• don’t trigger unrelated key bindings for --release bindings
|
||||
• fix colormap handling for containers (fixes taking screenshots using xwd)
|
||||
• check output crossing on ENTER_NOTIFY to dockarea (fixes pointer jumping)
|
||||
• fix a use-after-free bug (fixes “floating enable” on single split windows)
