Wayback 0.1 released

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.
