This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are +strongly encouraged to upgrade. + +For users, there are two changes to be aware of: + +1.

It is now possible to set config file variables from X resources using the + “set_from_resource” directive. This allows users to have a single source of + truth for e.g. theming X11 applications (specify “*color0: #121212” and have + it apply to URxvt and your i3 config). + +For packagers, there are three changes that likely require action: + +1. cairo/pango are now required dependencies, as announced in the i3 v4.12 + release notes. + +2. The aforementioned “set_from_resource” feature requires the new dependency + libxcb-util-xrm. + +3. i3 now uses the GNU build system (autotools).
