Those are just changes to the build system. The last upstream release was 7 years ago. Last commit to the main branch was 6 1/2 years ago. This project is unmaintained. It should be forked by someone who is passionate about it.
Can anyone give a layman an explanation as to what makes software like this unmaintained? It seems like it should be fine if it works and is still getting updates.
It will 90% have no wayland support. It may have bugs that are not resolved. It may rely on outdated software components and break if distros stop shipping it.
![[Resolved - now using Onboard] Any recommendations for an on-screen keyboard like the one that Windows has. The one that comes with Gnome is annoying to use...](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/8d4470cb-b10c-43e3-ae60-917fa947361c.webp){kind=link}
I’ve had a good experience with Onboard.
Does it work with Wayland?
Presumably via Xwayland, but I haven’t tried it.
I wouldn’t be so sure about xwayland, it would need the ability to insert keystrokes. I don’t know at what level it does that
The last release came out 7 years ago…
No? last release was 1-1-2024…

I wouldn’t call that unmaintained then?
