- Introduce
status_bar_name <name> command to specify which status bar to signal when the windows arrangement is updated (was previously hard-coded to waybar). - Support i3.
spatialblock
- Rewrite the helper in OCaml, to enjoy (way) better performances leading to a smoother UX.
- Allow to dynamically associate applications ids with icons using a dedicated configuration file (either
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/spatial/spatialblock.json or $HOME/.config/spatial/spatialblock.json).

The first release of Spatial Shell establishes a strong foundation for the project. Following in i3 and sway’s footsteps, it introduces a daemon (spatial), a client (spatialmsg), and a IPC protocol for them to communicate.
The spatial model implemented by spatial allows users to navigate a grid of windows wherein workspaces are rows, and to alternate between two layouts (Maximize, and Column).
This is described in depth in the man pages introduced in this release.
