Fedora 42 xwayland-satellite Update Important Tracing Issue 2025-852b3e077d

Dist Fedora Esm H88
Debian 12 Release for xwayland satellite brings crucial enhancements and updates for Wayland desktop environments. Keep secure!
Update niri to version 25.08 and xwayland-satellite to version 0.7

Summary

xwayland-satellite grants rootless Xwayland integration to any Wayland

compositor implementing xdg_wm_base and viewporter. This is particularly

useful for compositors that (understandably) do not want to go through

implementing support for rootless Xwayland themselves.

Update Information:

Update niri to version 25.08 and xwayland-satellite to version 0.7. Notably, niri now supports xwayland out-of-the-box without manual configuration, and reading keyboard layout from org.freedesktop.locale1.
