Wayland support is here!

We would like to announce experimental Wayland support for Synergy on Linux. Wayland is a replacement for the X11 window system protocol and architecture.

Requirements

libei (distros that support libei)
>= GNOME 46 or KDE Plasma 6.1

Special thanks

Peter Hutterer (@whot) and Olivier Fourdan (@ofourdan) from Red Hat for their work on implementing Wayland support. Peter Hutterer's work on libei and libportal is fundamental for Wayland support for Synergy.

Open Source

Synergy stands on the work of countless upstream open source projects, from the libraries and toolchains we build with to the platform code that lets it run on every operating system. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to any of them, whether in code, documentation, testing, or support, and to everyone who has worked on the open source Core behind this release. We could not build Synergy without you, and we are grateful to be part of the community that makes this software possible.
