- └──────────────────────────────┘
-
-This is i3 v4.19. This version is considered stable. All users of i3 are
-strongly encouraged to upgrade.
-
-In this release, we switched from the autotools build system to the meson build
-system (https://mesonbuild.com/). Check https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/4086 for
-details. If this causes problems for you, you can revert the commit which
-removed autotools from the tree: we tried our best to keep both build systems
-working. Please reach out to us in that case!
