With this commit, the "default" layout is replaced by the splith and
splitv layouts. splith is equivalent to default with orientation
horizontal and splitv is equivalent to default with orientation
vertical.
The "split h" and "split v" commands continue to work as before, they
split the current container and you will end up in a split container
with layout splith (after "split h") or splitv (after "split v").
To change a splith container into a splitv container, use either "layout
splitv" or "layout toggle split". The latter command is used in the
default config as mod+l (previously "layout default"). In case you have
"layout default" in your config file, it is recommended to just replace
it by "layout toggle split", which will work as "layout default" did
before when pressing it once, but toggle between horizontal/vertical
when pressing it repeatedly.
The rationale behind this commit is that it’s cleaner to have all
parameters that influence how windows are rendered in the layout itself
rather than having a special parameter in combination with only one
layout. This enables us to change existing split containers in all cases
without breaking existing features (see ticket #464). Also, users should
feel more confident about whether they are actually splitting or just
changing an existing split container now.
As a nice side-effect, this commit brings back the "layout toggle"
feature we once had in i3 version 3 (see the userguide).
AFAIK, it is safe to use in-place restart to upgrade into versions
after this commit (switching to an older version will break your layout,
though).
Fixes#464
When calculating coordinates we should multiply at first otherwise
we lose precision when i3 is compiled without sse2 support.
The following code prints "Res1: 348 Res2: 349" when compiled with
-O0 -mno-sse2 and "Res1: 349 Res2: 349" with -O0 -msee2.
Note that -msse2 is default flag on 64bit OSes.
int main() {
double a = 349.0 / 768;
double b = 349.0 * 768;
int res1 = a * 768;
int res2 = b / 768;
printf("Res1: %d Res2: %d\n", res1, res2);
return 0;
}
Thanks guys for helping me to hunt down this one.

The C compiler will handle (void) as "no arguments" and () as "variadic
function" (equivalent to (...)) which might lead to subtle errors, such
as the one which was fixed with commit 0ea64ae4.
Fixes: #668
Calling tree_close with dont_kill_parent=true will avoid it from closing the
workspace if it’s empty (and it’s temporarily empty, because 'floating disable'
detaches, then re-attaches the window).
The problem was that the workspace was considered empty for a brief period of
time when entering floating mode. This happened when you assigned Gimp to a
workspace which is not in use yet.
Fixes#452
This might also fix problems with Firefox where Firefox only displays a white
window (my guess is that it mapped a floating window outside of the actually
visible area for some reason).
Use 'kill window' to kill a specific window (for example only one specific
popup), use 'kill client' to kill the whole application (or X11 connection to
be specific).
