One of the interesting open-source projects to come about this year was Wayback as an X11 compatibility layer using Wayland. Wayback could be used by default on Alpine Linux next year among other distributions. For ending out 2025 development, Wayback 0.3 is now available.

Wayback 0.1 was published in July as the initial preview release for this X11 compatibility layer. Wayback 0.2 came in August and since then there hasn’t been much news to report on it.
