+ │ Release notes for i3 v4.22   │
+ └──────────────────────────────┘
+
+This is i3 v4.22. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
+strongly encouraged to upgrade.
+
+The biggest change in this release is the merge of the i3-gaps fork.
+The i3-gaps fork was the most popular fork of i3, adding the option to
+show gaps between tiled windows and/or the screen edges.
+
+See https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#gaps for more details.
+
+Instead of maintaining two versions of i3 (both upstream and downstream,
+meaning in Linux distributions and other package collections),
+we concluded it would be better for everyone to merge this feature.
+
+For users of i3: gaps are off by default, so there is no change in behavior.
+For users of i3-gaps: the configuration is compatible, so you can switch
+to i3 v4.22 or newer, without any changes in behavior.
+
+Thanks to Ingo Bürk for maintaining i3-gaps for many years,
+for becoming a core i3 maintainer and for helping make this merge possible!
