Name : i3
Product : Fedora 20
Version : 4.8
Release : 3.fc20
URL : http://i3wm.org
Summary : Improved tiling window manager
Description :
Key features of i3 are correct implementation of XrandR, horizontal and vertical
columns (think of a table) in tiling. Also, special focus is on writing clean,
readable and well documented code. i3 uses xcb for asynchronous communication
with X11, and has several measures to be very fast.
Please be aware that i3 is primarily targeted at advanced users and developers.

Update Information:
fix build on s390(x)
Release notes for i3 v4.8
This is i3 v4.8. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are strongly encouraged to upgrade.
The biggest new feature certainly is layout saving/restoring. See
http://i3wm.org/docs/layout-saving.html for more details. Export your current layout as JSON file, load it into new i3 sessions, get placeholder windows that will be replaced by the actual apps once you start them.
Also very important for owners of HiDPI/“retina” displays is that i3 will now respect your configured DPI and scale up its UI elements accordingly. Use “xrandr --dpi 184” to set your dpi to 184, in case your setup does not figure it out automatically. To get properly scaling fonts, we also changed the default font from a bitmap font to a pango font (“DejaVu Sans Mono 8”).
Multiple changes improve the compatibility of i3 with other software, e.g. java-based software (focus handling, once again) or external pagers (we now provide _NET_CLIENT_LIST and let pager applications change workspaces).
