Waylock now uses the ext-session-lock-v1 protocol which is significantly more robust than previous client-side Wayland screen locking approaches. Importantly, the screenlocker crashing does not cause the session to be unlocked.

This means that waylock is now only compatible with compositors implementing ext-session-lock-v1.

In addition, waylock has been entirely rewritten since version 0.3.5 for security and simplicity. It now benefits from everything I've learned about Wayland and programming in general over the past few years working on river.

Waylock 0.4.0 will also use less memory than the previous version thanks to an optimization for solid color buffers using the viewporter protocol.

This release is highly breaking, there is no longer any config file and the command line interface has been changed as well. However, there is now better documentation including a man page.

The new feature set of waylock is one I am comfortable maintaining indefinitely and I intend the next major release to be a stable 1.0.
