Wayback 0.3 Released, Advances X11 Compatibility Layer for Wayland
Wayback 0.3 has been released today, concluding its 2025 development cycle. This open-source project functions as an X11 compatibility layer, designed to allow X11 applications to run within a Wayland environment. The project aims to simplify the transition and coexistence of applications across display server technologies. Looking ahead, Wayback "could be used by default on Alpine Linux next year among other distributions," according to Phoronix, indicating potential broader adoption for its role in Wayland integration.
