i3viswiz

Now works correctly with multiple active monitors.

focusing back and forth in the opposite directions feels more intuitive

When i3viswiz is used to shift focus in a
direction (left, right, up, down) the current
container ID is noted (i3var set). This is done
so that the next time we focus in a direction we
will test if the saved ID is adjacent to the
current container at the searched direction and
focus that if it is the case.

less noisy output

when i3viswiz is used to output text, it by default
only prints a table representing the visible windows.
It now also prints the workspace number.
And all visible windows from all workspaces not just
the active one. Example:

$ i3viswiz --instance

* 94475856575600 ws: 1 x: 0     y: 0     w: 1558  h: 410   | termsmall
- 94475856763248 ws: 1 x: 1558  y: 0     w: 362   h: 272   | gl
- 94475856286352 ws: 1 x: 0     y: 410   w: 1558  h: 643   | sublime_main
- 94475856449344 ws: 1 x: 1558  y: 272   w: 362   h: 781   | thunar-lna

In previous versions of i3viswiz the first
line of this output contained additional
information that is being used by other i3ass
scripts. That info is still available, but the
user needs to use the new --debug VARLIST
option, to get that info. See the manpage or
--help for more info.

i3flip

Use a lock file to make sure we don't "double
execute" the script. Updated to work with new
version of i3viswiz.

i3fyra

the value of the environment
variable, I3FYRA_WS, which is used to declare
which workspace to be used for i3fyra. Is now
checked against a workspace name instead of a
workspace number.

i3-msg open is not used in i3fyra anymore,
this shuold make the experience smoother and the
creation of new containers faster.

i3Kornhe

Added 5 new commanline options to set the
screenmargin size when moving windows in
direction [1-9].

Removed the use of i3-msg open and use a more
robust method for keeping track of the active
window, previous versions someimes changed the
titleformat of the wrong windows becuase of the
old method.

i3list

It is now possible to use multiple criteria for windows.

The output is printed in a better organized way.
Two new keys added to the output array:

i3list["RID"] # root container id
i3list["ORI"] # i3fyra orientation

i3menu

Improved the way i3menu reads from STDIN.
Large lists (10000+ lines) loads much faster now.

i3var

Add variables as marks on the root container
instead of creating separate empty windows with
i3-msg open for each mark.
