│ 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 i3s support for RandR 1.5, which transparently supports the TILE
property of first-gen 4K monitors and current 5K or 8K monitors.
