Cage 0.2 Released For Wayland-Powered Kiosks With Single, Maximized Apps

Prominent Wayland developer Simon Ser has released Cage v0.2, a Wayland kiosk compositor that runs single, maximized applications.

The Cage compositor is intended just for appliance-like devices and other kiosk scenarios where just running a single application in a full-screen environment. With Cage v0.2 it incorporates all of the improvements from the wlroots 0.17 and wlroots 0.18 releases with Cage being built off this Wayland support library.

Cage 0.2 also adds support for primary selection and adds support for relative pointers with the relative-pointer-unstable-v1 protocol. Cage has also made XWayland optional at run-time.
