 │ Release notes for i3 v4.21   │
 └──────────────────────────────┘

This is i3 v4.21. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
strongly encouraged to upgrade.

The biggest change in this release is that you can now drag tiling windows
with your mouse (floating windows could already be dragged). For more details
on how to use this feature, please refer to the userguide:

https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#_moving_tiling_containers_with_the_mouse

A big thank you goes out to our core i3 developer Orestis Floros who made this
feature possible, based on previous work from Michael Forster and Tony Crisci!

    library to the current PCRE2 10.x version.

    “workspace number N” commands
  • i3bar: fix default font not being applied to bars if defined after bar block

    focus_follows_mouse
