Version
0.1 of the Wayback
project has been released:

Wayback is an X11 compatibility layer that allows for running full
X11-only desktop environments using Wayland. It is essentially an X11
server backed by Wayland, leveraging wlroots and Xwayland. Our goal is
for Wayback to eventually be a completely drop-in replacement to the
Xorg binary, thus reducing maintenance burden for distro
maintainers.

Ever since Wayback was announced on June˙28, we have been making lots
of progress to get it as stable and functional as possible, and while
this is a preview release it is already daily-driveable by users with
simple requirements, as long as they don't mind bugs.

The release is considered alpha-quality and is missing a number of
features, including multi-monitor
support and DPMS,
but adventurous users can find the code here.
