┌──────────────────────────────┐
│ Release notes for i3 v4.7 │
└──────────────────────────────┘
This is the i3 v4.7. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
strongly encouraged to upgrade.
This release features a number of documentation improvements, better error
messages in various places, better tray compatibility in i3bar, and a number of
bugfixes.
Relevant from a packaging point of view is that we have switched to the new
xcb-util-cursor library to get rid of libXcursor. The last remaining big piece
of Xlib code now is XKB, which we may be able to tackle in upcoming releases
thanks to the just released libxcb 1.10.
