First preview release of Xfce's Wayland compositor

Brian Tarricone has announcedthe first preview release of xfwl4, a Wayland compositor for the Xfce desktop environment.

After close to six months of work, I feel like it's ready to getsome wider use, even though of course there will be bugs and missingfeatures. Think of this as an alpha release. [...]

The end goal of xfwl4 is to behave as closely as possible to anXfce desktop running on an X server. Ideally a user could switchbetween the two without even knowing there's a difference. In reality,of course, it won't be quite that seamless, and there's still morework to be done to get as close as possible to that ideal. This is afirst solid cut at it, at the very least.
