Release notes for i3 tree-pr2
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This is the second PREVIEW RELEASE for the tree branch. It is *NOT* part of
|
||||
i3’s regular releases and should *NOT* be packaged in the usual way for
|
||||
distributions. Instead, provide a separate, unofficial package if possible.
|
||||
|
||||
The so called tree branch is the place where the next version of i3 is
|
||||
developed. This time, we did a major code refactoring bringing many changes.
|
||||
The idea is to use a tree as datastructure instead of separate lists (like one
|
||||
for outputs, workspaces and a table for storing your window layout).
|
||||
|
||||
Quite a few advantages arise from this new data structure. The most prominent
|
||||
ones will be a slightly different look and feel, the possibility to store your
|
||||
layout and restore it later, correct resizing, a much cleaner command parser
|
||||
and more little improvements.
|
||||
|
||||
As this is a preview release, some things are not working yet. Generally,
|
||||
though, the core developers are using it already and think it’s good enough to
|
||||
try it out. With this release, we want to gather feedback from you, so please
|
||||
report any bugs you encounter in our bugtracker at http://i3.zekjur.net/bugs
|
||||
|
||||
