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.
