This release contains many small improvements like using keysymbols in the configuration file, named workspaces, borderless windows, an IPC interface, etc. (see the release notes for a complete list of changes). Press "read more" to get an introduction to what i3 is.

i3 aims to be an improved tiling window manager, mainly inspired by wmii. Similarily to other tiling window managers, the goal is to increase productivity by not having overlapping windows. In contrast to wmii, i3 was designed to work well with Xinerama and particular focus has been on producing clean, readable and hackable code. See the website for goals, downloads and documentation or directly jump to the userguide for a quick introduction.
