└────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
|
||||
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”
|
||||
• avoid setting urgency hint on content containers and above (fixes crashes)
|
||||
• 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)

│ Release notes for i3 v4.14 │
|
||||
└────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
|
||||
This is i3 v4.14. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
|
||||
strongly encouraged to upgrade.
|
||||
|
||||
Aside from many bug and documentation fixes, the “swap” command is a notable
|
||||
addition of this release. As is almost tradition at this point, keybinding
|
||||
handling has seen some fixes as well. A noticeable change for users with such
|
||||
monitors is i3’s support for RandR 1.5, which transparently supports the TILE
|
||||
property of first-gen 4K monitors and current 5K or 8K monitors.
