+ │ Release notes for i3 v4.4    │
+ └──────────────────────────────┘
+
+This is the i3 v4.4. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
+strongly encouraged to upgrade.
+
+An important under-the-hood change is that we now use the same parser
+  infrastructure for the configuration file as we do for the commands. This
+  makes maintenance and contributions easier and lets us finally escape the
+  insanity that is bison/flex.
+
+  In case there is a bug and your existing config does not work as expected
+  anymore, try using the --force-old-config-parser-v4.4-only flag when starting
+  i3 and please report a bug. This option will only be present in v4.4, so if
+  you don’t report a bug, you are willingly breaking your own config file.
+
+Apart from that, there have been several little fixes and additions which make
+  i3 pay more attention to detail, particularly in the floating window area of
+  the code. See the changes/bugfixes list for more information.
+
+ ┌────────────────────────────┐
+ │ Changes in v4.4            │
+ └────────────────────────────┘
+
+  • add i3-dmenu-desktop, a dmenu wrapper which parses application .desktop
+    files and executes them.
+  • also use a custom parser for the config file

+  • ipc: you can now subscribe to an event called 'mode' (for binding modes)
+  • implement "move container to workspace back_and_forth"
+  • implement delayed urgency hint reset
+  • make "move workspace number" accept a default workspace name after the
+    number
+  • i3bar: allow child to specify start/stop signals to use in hide mode
+  • i3bar: add "urgent" to protocol, it unhides i3bar when in hide mode
+  • make parent of urgent containers also urgent
+  • add descriptive title to split containers (no more "another container")

+  • display appropriate cursors when resizing or moving floating windows
+  • implement variable border widths for pixel/normal
+  • Implement moving workspaces as if they’re regular containers
+  • Maintain relative positioning when moving floating windows between outputs
+  • Focus the relevant workspace when clicking any container
+  • docs/ipc: remove unnecessary newline
+  • docs/ipc: add a warning to use an existing library
+  • shmlog: remove O_TRUNC flag for shm_open, we truncate on our own
+  • un-fullscreen as needed when moving fullscreen containers
+  • improve startup sequence termination conditions
+  • allow floating cons to be reached using 'focus parent'
+  • grab keys with all permutations of lock and numlock
+  • allow workspace contents to be moved if there are only floating children
+  • allow 'focus <direction>' to move out of non-global fullscreen containers
+  • exit with a proper error message when there are no outputs available
+  • skip floating cons in focus <child|parent> and stop them from being split
+  • focus windows when middle-clicking
+  • skip floating windows in the focus stack when moving through the tree
+  • docs/userguide: use $mod consistently
+  • keycode default config: s/bindcode/bindsym/
+  • implement smart popup_during_fullscreen mode
+  • docs/testsuite: add "installing the dependencies" section
+  • introduce new command to rename focused workspace
+  • libi3: use "pango:" prefix instead of "xft:" to avoid confusion
+  • ipc: add "current" and "old" containers to workspace events
+  • i3bar: add current binding mode indicator
+  • resizing floating windows now obeys the minimum/maximum size
+  • docs/userguide: document new_float option
+
+ ┌────────────────────────────┐
