Wayback 0.2 Brings More Enhancements For This X11 Compatibility Layer

Written by Michael Larabel in Wayland on 1 August 2025 at 04:51 PM EDT. 125 Comments
In time for some weekend testing, Wayback 0.2 is now available for this X11 compatibility layer leveraging Wayland components. Wayback 0.2 remains at an alpha quality state but more functionality is now wired up.

Wayback 0.2 brings a few fixes and new functionality as a minor update over Wayback 0.1 from just over one week ago:
- wayback-session now uses &argv[1] instead of &argv[optind], this fixes it looping when running wayback-session sesscmd

- Wayback commands now show the version in the command output

- Handle child processes without SIGTERM

- Wayback is now on Gentoo GURU (gui-wm/wayback) and Nixpkgs (wayback-x11 in unstable)

Downloads and more details on the Wayback 0.2 release via wayback.freedesktop.org.
