│ Release notes for i3 v4.5 │
└──────────────────────────────┘
This is the i3 v4.5. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
strongly encouraged to upgrade.
Most of the changes are cleanups and bugfixes. Due to cleanups, i3 no longer
depends on flex/bison at all. Furthermore, libev ≥ 4 is now a hard dependency
(libev < 4 is not supported anymore).
One important change to note is that moving windows to a different output will
no longer move focus to that output. If you want to have the old behavior,
modify the keybindings for moving in your configfile like this:
bindsym $mod+Shift+1 move workspace 1; workspace 1
