Release notes for i3 v3.a-bf1
2+
-----------------------------
3+
4+
This is the first bugfix release (bf1) for version 3.a of i3. We felt it was
5+
a good idea to release the bugfixes which were collected during the last two
6+
months so that the users of stable releases (as opposed to users following
7+
the git tree) enjoy a much better i3.
8+
9+
I’d like to thank all contributors who made this release possible by their
10+
support and bug reports, especially mist, mxf, Atsutane and ch3ka.
11+
12+
All users of i3 3.a are encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible.
13+
14+
A list of changes follows:
15+
16+
* Bugfix: When entering a stack window with the mouse, set focus to the
17+
active client in the container the stack window belongs to.
18+
* Bugfix: Correctly filter out the numlock bit. This fixes i3 not reacting
19+
to any keybindings after pressing numlock once.
20+
* Bugfix: Don't crash when Xinerama is disabled.
21+
* Bugfix: Correctly remove client from container when moving to another
22+
workspace.
23+
* Bugfix: Set focus to the client which was previously focused instead of
24+
the next client in container when moving windows out of a container.
25+
* Bugfix: Correctly set focus when switching between screens.
26+
* Bugfix: Don't crash anymore moving focus to another screen under the
27+
following conditions: The screen you switch to has a lower number of cells
28+
and/or rows than the current one, you switch focus using your mouse, you
29+
previously were in a column/row which is not available on the destination
30+
screen.
31+
* Bugfix: When switching screens, warp the pointer to the correct
32+
destination window.
33+
* Bugfix: Store dock clients per screen, not per workspace.
34+
* Bugfix: Perform bounds checking for snapped containers.
35+
* Bugfix: Send clients their absolute position/size (on the root window) in
36+
generated configure events. This fixes problems with xfontsel, xmaple,
37+
etc.
38+
* Bugfix: Correctly update state when moving fullscreen windows across
39+
workspaces.
40+
* Bugfix: Correctly restart i3 when not using its absolute path
41+
* Bugfix: Drag & Drop in GTK applications works now
42+
* Bugfix: Don't hide non-managed windows (libnotify-popups for example)
43+
when raising clients in stacked containers.
44+
* Bugfix: Correctly restore focus when leaving fullscreen mode
45+
* Bugfix: Re-distribute free space when closing customly resized containers,
46+
re-evaluate for other containers
47+
* Bugfix: When moving windows into different containers, insert them at the
48+
correct position.
49+
* Bugfix: Correctly set focus when moving windows into other containers
50+
* Implement scrolling on stack windows and on the bottom bar.
51+
* Create i3-wm-dbg with debug symbols
52+
* Don't rely on libxcb-wm any longer, as it got removed in libxcb 0.3.4.

Release notes for i3 v3.β
2+
-----------------------------
3+
4+
This is the second version (3.β, transcribed 3.b) of i3. It is considered stable.
5+
6+
The most important change probably is the implementation of floating clients,
7+
primarily useful for dialog/toolbar/popup/splash windows. When using i3 for
8+
managing floating windows other than the ones mentioned beforehand, please
9+
keep in mind that i3 is a tiling window manager in the first place and thus
10+
you might better use a "traditional" window manager when having to deal a
11+
lot with floating windows.
12+
13+
Now that you’re warned, let’s have a quick glance at the other new features:
14+
* jumping to other windows by specifying their position or window class/title
15+
* assigning clients to specific workspaces by window class/title
16+
* automatically starting programs (such as i3status + dzen2)
17+
* configurable colors
18+
* variables in configfile
19+
20+
Furthermore, we now have a user’s guide which should be the first document
21+
you read when new to i3 (apart from the manpage).
22+
23+
Thanks for this release go out to mist, Atsutane, ch3ka, urs, Moredread,
24+
badboy and all other people who reported bugs/made suggestions.
25+
26+
A list of changes follows:
27+
28+
* Bugfix: Correctly handle col-/rowspanned containers when setting focus.
29+
* Bugfix: Correctly handle col-/rowspanned containers when snapping.
30+
* Bugfix: Force reconfiguration of all windows on workspaces which are
31+
re-assigned because a screen was detached.
32+
* Bugfix: Several bugs in resizing table columns fixed.
33+
* Bugfix: Resizing should now work correctly in all cases.
34+
* Bugfix: Correctly re-assign dock windows when workspace is destroyed.
35+
* Bugfix: Correctly handle Mode_switch modifier.
36+
* Bugfix: Don't raise clients in fullscreen mode.
37+
* Bugfix: Re-assign dock windows to different workspaces when a workspace
38+
is detached.
39+
* Bugfix: Fix crash because of workspace-pointer which did not get updated
40+
* Bugfix: Correctly initialize screen when Xinerama is disabled.
41+
* Bugfix: Fullscreen window movement and focus problems fixed
42+
* Implement jumping to other windows by specifying their position or
43+
window class/title.
44+
* Implement jumping back by using the focus stack.
45+
* Implement autostart (exec-command in configuration file).
46+
* Implement floating.
47+
* Implement automatically assigning clients on specific workspaces.
48+
* Implement variables in configfile.
49+
* Colors are now configurable.

3+
4+
This is the first bugfix release (bf1) for version 3.δ (transcribed 3.d) of

users of the stable releases might profit from this additional bugfix release.

Release notes for i3 v3.δ
2+
-----------------------------
3+
4+
This is the third version (3.δ, transcribed 3.d) of i3. It is considered stable.
5+
6+
This release features tabbing and some more advanced modifications of the
7+
stacking window (see the user’s guide), vim-like marks, support for the
8+
urgency hint, horizontal resizing of containers (finally), modes (which can
9+
make your keybindings a lot simpler), an unlimited amount of workspaces
10+
and several bugfixes (see below for the complete list of changes).
11+
12+
Furthermore, the configuration file parsing has been rewritten to use a
13+
lex/yacc based lexer/parser. This makes our configuration file more easy to
14+
understand and more flexible from the point of view of a developer. For some
15+
of the new features, you already need the new lexer/parser. To not break your
16+
current configuration, however, the old parser is still included and used by
17+
default. I strongly recommend you to add the flag -l when starting i3 and
18+
switch your configuration file to the new lexer/parser. This should only
19+
require minor changes, if at all. In the next released version of i3, the
20+
old configuration file parsing will be removed!
21+
22+
Also, this release includes the testcases which were developed in a separate
23+
branch so far. They use Perl, together with X11::XCB, which you can download
24+
from CPAN. Please make sure you are not doing anything important when running
25+
the testcases, as they may modify your layout and use different workspaces.
26+
They also might, of course, actually find bugs and crash i3 ;-).
27+
28+
Thanks for this release go out to xeen, mist, badboy, Mikael, mxf, Atsutane,
29+
tsdh, litemotiv, shatter, msi, yurifury, dirkson, Scytale, Grauwolf and all
30+
other people who reported bugs/made suggestions.
31+
32+
A list of changes follows:
33+
34+
* Implement tabbing (command "T")
35+
* Implement horizontal resize of containers (containers! not windows)
36+
* Implement the urgency hint for windows/workspaces
37+
* Implement vim-like marks (mark/goto command)
38+
* Implement stack-limit for further defining how stack windows should look
39+
* Implement modes which allow you to use a different set of keybindings
40+
when inside a specific mode
41+
* Implement changing the default mode of containers
42+
* Implement long options (--version, --no-autostart, --help, --config)
43+
* Implement 'bt' to toggle between the different border styles
44+
* Implement an option to specify the default border style
45+
* Use a yacc/lex parser/lexer for the configuration file
46+
* The number of workspaces is now dynamic instead of limited to 10
47+
* Floating windows (and tiled containers) can now be resized using
48+
floating_modifier and right mouse button
49+
* Dock windows can now reconfigure their height
50+
* Bugfix: Correctly handle multiple messages on the IPC socket
51+
* Bugfix: Correctly use base_width, base_height and size increment hints
52+
* Bugfix: Correctly send fake configure_notify events
53+
* Bugfix: Don’t crash if the numlock symbol cannot be found
54+
* Bugfix: Don’t display a colon after unnamed workspaces
55+
* Bugfix: If the pointer is outside of the screen when starting, fall back to
56+
the first screen.
57+
* Bugfix: Initialize screens correctly when not using Xinerama
58+
* Bugfix: Correctly handle unmap_notify events when resizing
59+
* Bugfix: Correctly warp pointer after rendering the layout
60+
* Bugfix: Fix NULL pointer dereference when reconfiguring screens
