Release of the mosaic (tiling) window manager . The i3wm project was created from scratch following a series of attempts to address the shortcomings of the wmii window manager. i3wm features well-readable and documented code, uses xcb instead of Xlib, supports operation in multi-monitor configurations, employs tree data structures for window positioning, provides an IPC interface, supports UTF-8, and maintains minimalism in window design. The project's code is licensed under the BSD license
In the new release:
- The i3bar panel has added support for transparency (the "--transparenc" flag) and the ability to assign arbitrary frame width;
- By default, the settings ensure the launch of xss-lock, nm-applet, pactl (volume control keys), and the use of the configuration file ~/ .config / i3 / config;
- The user manual has been updated;
- In IPC, a message queue has been implemented, and sending the restart command is retained until the previous command is completed;
- Fixed issues with i3bar when switching between workspaces with a large number of windows;
- Implemented rendering of the left and right header borders in tiled mode;
- Added elements for using screen recording software ;
- To correctly handle emojis in the title area when using bitmap fonts, partial conversion from UTF-8 to UCS-2 has been added.
