Release notes for i3 v3.a-bf1
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This is the first bugfix release (bf1) for version 3.a of i3. We felt it was
|
||||
a good idea to release the bugfixes which were collected during the last two
|
||||
months so that the users of stable releases (as opposed to users following
|
||||
the git tree) enjoy a much better i3.
|
||||
|
||||
I’d like to thank all contributors who made this release possible by their
|
||||
support and bug reports, especially mist, mxf, Atsutane and ch3ka.
|
||||
|
||||
All users of i3 3.a are encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
A list of changes follows:
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix: When entering a stack window with the mouse, set focus to the
|
||||
active client in the container the stack window belongs to.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Correctly filter out the numlock bit. This fixes i3 not reacting
|
||||
to any keybindings after pressing numlock once.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Don't crash when Xinerama is disabled.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Correctly remove client from container when moving to another
|
||||
workspace.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Set focus to the client which was previously focused instead of
|
||||
the next client in container when moving windows out of a container.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Correctly set focus when switching between screens.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Don't crash anymore moving focus to another screen under the
|
||||
following conditions: The screen you switch to has a lower number of cells
|
||||
and/or rows than the current one, you switch focus using your mouse, you
|
||||
previously were in a column/row which is not available on the destination
|
||||
screen.
|
||||
* Bugfix: When switching screens, warp the pointer to the correct
|
||||
destination window.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Store dock clients per screen, not per workspace.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Perform bounds checking for snapped containers.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Send clients their absolute position/size (on the root window) in
|
||||
generated configure events. This fixes problems with xfontsel, xmaple,
|
||||
etc.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Correctly update state when moving fullscreen windows across
|
||||
workspaces.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Correctly restart i3 when not using its absolute path
|
||||
* Bugfix: Drag & Drop in GTK applications works now
|
||||
* Bugfix: Don't hide non-managed windows (libnotify-popups for example)
|
||||
when raising clients in stacked containers.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Correctly restore focus when leaving fullscreen mode
|
||||
* Bugfix: Re-distribute free space when closing customly resized containers,
|
||||
re-evaluate for other containers
|
||||
* Bugfix: When moving windows into different containers, insert them at the
|
||||
correct position.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Correctly set focus when moving windows into other containers
|
||||
* Implement scrolling on stack windows and on the bottom bar.
|
||||
* Create i3-wm-dbg with debug symbols
|
||||
* Don't rely on libxcb-wm any longer, as it got removed in libxcb 0.3.4.

Release notes for i3 v3.β
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This is the second version (3.β, transcribed 3.b) of i3. It is considered stable.
|
||||
|
||||
The most important change probably is the implementation of floating clients,
|
||||
primarily useful for dialog/toolbar/popup/splash windows. When using i3 for
|
||||
managing floating windows other than the ones mentioned beforehand, please
|
||||
keep in mind that i3 is a tiling window manager in the first place and thus
|
||||
you might better use a "traditional" window manager when having to deal a
|
||||
lot with floating windows.
|
||||
|
||||
Now that you’re warned, let’s have a quick glance at the other new features:
|
||||
* jumping to other windows by specifying their position or window class/title
|
||||
* assigning clients to specific workspaces by window class/title
|
||||
* automatically starting programs (such as i3status + dzen2)
|
||||
* configurable colors
|
||||
* variables in configfile
|
||||
|
||||
Furthermore, we now have a user’s guide which should be the first document
|
||||
you read when new to i3 (apart from the manpage).
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks for this release go out to mist, Atsutane, ch3ka, urs, Moredread,
|
||||
badboy and all other people who reported bugs/made suggestions.
|
||||
|
||||
A list of changes follows:
|
||||
|
||||
* Bugfix: Correctly handle col-/rowspanned containers when setting focus.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Correctly handle col-/rowspanned containers when snapping.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Force reconfiguration of all windows on workspaces which are
|
||||
re-assigned because a screen was detached.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Several bugs in resizing table columns fixed.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Resizing should now work correctly in all cases.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Correctly re-assign dock windows when workspace is destroyed.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Correctly handle Mode_switch modifier.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Don't raise clients in fullscreen mode.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Re-assign dock windows to different workspaces when a workspace
|
||||
is detached.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Fix crash because of workspace-pointer which did not get updated
|
||||
* Bugfix: Correctly initialize screen when Xinerama is disabled.
|
||||
* Bugfix: Fullscreen window movement and focus problems fixed
|
||||
* Implement jumping to other windows by specifying their position or
|
||||
window class/title.
|
||||
* Implement jumping back by using the focus stack.
|
||||
* Implement autostart (exec-command in configuration file).
|
||||
* Implement floating.
|
||||
* Implement automatically assigning clients on specific workspaces.
|
||||
* Implement variables in configfile.
|
||||
* Colors are now configurable.

Release notes for i3 v3.δ
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This is the third version (3.δ, transcribed 3.d) of i3. 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!
|
||||
|
||||
Also, this release includes the testcases which were developed in a separate
|
||||
branch so far. They use Perl, together with X11::XCB, which you can download
|
||||
from CPAN. Please make sure you are not doing anything important when running
|
||||
the testcases, as they may modify your layout and use different workspaces.
|
||||
They also might, of course, actually find bugs and crash i3 ;-).
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
* Implement an option to specify the default border style
|
||||
* 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

Release notes for i3 tree-pr1
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This is a PREVIEW RELEASE for the tree branch. It is *NOT* part of i3’s regular
|
||||
releases and should *NOT* be packaged in the usual way for distributions.
|
||||
Instead, provide a separate, unofficial package if possible.
|
||||
|
||||
The so called tree branch is the place where the next version of i3 is
|
||||
developed. This time, we did a major code refactoring bringing many changes.
|
||||
The idea is to use a tree as datastructure instead of separate lists (like one
|
||||
for outputs, workspaces and a table for storing your window layout).
|
||||
|
||||
Quite a few advantages arise from this new data structure. The most prominent
|
||||
ones will be a slightly different look and feel, the possibility to store your
|
||||
layout and restore it later, correct resizing, a much cleaner command parser
|
||||
and more little improvements.
|
||||
|
||||
As this is a preview release, some things are not working yet. Generally,
|
||||
though, the core developers are using it already and think it’s good enough to
|
||||
try it out. With this release, we want to gather feedback from you, so please
|
||||
report any bugs you encounter in our bugtracker at http://i3.zekjur.net/bugs
|
||||
|
||||
What should be working in this release?
|
||||
---------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
• Basic window management, navigation, moving
|
||||
• Fullscreen mode, correct aspect ratio
|
||||
• Stacked/Tabbed layout, floating mode
|
||||
• Splitting (for fancy layouts), resizing
|
||||
• Restarts, preserving the layout
|
||||
• i3bar, get it from http://git.merovius.de/
|
||||
|
||||
If any of these features do not work (correctly), please file a bugreport.
|
||||
|
||||
What is not working in this release?
|
||||
------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
• RandR changes (i3 needs to be restarted)
|
||||
• Assignments
|
||||
• Configfile compatibility
|
||||
• Workspace switching is sometimes not working. If you find a pattern, please
|
||||
report it.
|
||||
• There are still some bugs in resizing. Please report!
