Nice, love to see more alternatives in this space. I'm currently using GlazeWM, which provides an i3-like experience on Windows. To the ones saying 'just switch to Linux', I used Linux full-time for many years but switched back to use Windows-only software, and a tiling WM and a package manager like Scoop goes a long way in making it more bearable.

I thought the app was being rewritten and that this version was only gonna receive fixes until the rewrite is over.

That's correct. The "New" and "Improved" changes are mostly from pull requests that were opened before the rewrite announcement, or are important quality of life improvements.
