│ Release notes for i3 v4.8 │
|
||
└──────────────────────────────┘
|
||
|
||
This is i3 v4.8. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
|
||
strongly encouraged to upgrade.
|
||
|
||
The biggest new feature certainly is layout saving/restoring. See
|
||
http://i3wm.org/docs/layout-saving.html for more details. tl;dr: export your
|
||
current layout as JSON file, load it into new i3 sessions, get placeholder
|
||
windows that will be replaced by the actual apps once you start them.
|
||
|
||
Also very important for owners of HiDPI/“retina” displays is that i3 will now
|
||
respect your configured DPI and scale up its UI elements accordingly. Use
|
||
“xrandr --dpi 184” to set your dpi to 184, in case your setup does not figure
|
||
it out automatically. To get properly scaling fonts, we also changed the
|
||
default font from a bitmap font to a pango font (“DejaVu Sans Mono 8”).
|
||
|
||
Multiple changes improve the compatibility of i3 with other software, e.g.
|
||
java-based software (focus handling, once again) or external pagers (we now
|
||
provide _NET_CLIENT_LIST and let pager applications change workspaces).
|
||
|
||
For packagers, another change is that yajl ≥ 2.0 is now required for compiling
|
||
i3. This should not be a problem for anyone, as that version is pretty old by
|
||
now.
|
||
|
||
For contributors, note that we have starting formatting the source code with
|
||
clang-format-3.5. This means that there will no longer be a need to argue about
|
||
coding style when discussing patches :).
