The new version of i3 adds support for many little improvements (see below). Similarily to other tiling window managers, i3’s 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.

This release features tabbing and some more advanced modifications of the stacking window (see the user’s guide), vim-like marks, support for the urgency hint, horizontal resizing of containers (finally), modes (which can make your keybindings a lot simpler), an unlimited amount of workspaces and several bugfixes (see the release notes for the complete list of changes).
