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.
