pyxtrlock version 0.4 has been released today.
This is a security release that adds a check to ensure pyxtrlock is run
in an X11 session. If a non-X11 session, such as Wayland, is detected,
pyxtrlock will now abort with an error message without displaying the
lock symbol.
This has become necessary as pyxtrlock cannot securely lock non-X11
sessions that are now run by default on some distributions. In that
case, pyxtrlock would give a false security impression by displaying the
lock icon, while input to non-X11 windows is not actually locked.
We recommend to update your pyxtrlock packages.
The new release is available at [1].
