This is gonna be a long one.

• Lots of updates in README
• App class and starter keymap for Ghostty terminal app (thanks to @kzh and @kpwn243)
• Make the normal Linux TTY/virtual console shortcuts work
• Show services log in native terminal on elementary OS
• Get session monitor service to handle logouts better, less logging errors, more reliable stopping of all services
• Evaluated most of the Wayland session options that are now available for LXQt on Tumbleweed (see note below)
• Beefed up the wlroots DBus service script to handle misbehaving Wayland compositors that send some out-of-order events
• Did the same enhancement on the COSMIC DBus service script
• Several updates in the environment context module
• FAILED to convert session monitor to use DBus monitoring loop instead of shell commands (reverted)
• Fixed CentOS 7 support, again.
• Added new funding option
• Added process renaming to services, log viewing script, tray and preferences app and their launchers
• Take care of adding user to systemd-journal group when necessary (for services log)
• Keep child processes launched from Python scripts from becoming zombies
• Make all service-related scripts exit early when "user" services aren't supported (e.g., CentOS 7 or similar)
• Finally fixed problem on RHEL-type distros with the version of Python in the virtual environment, and build paths for pip packages. Fixed by turning a class instance attribute into a property method (venv_cmd_lst).
• Add local bin to PATH from ~/.profile instead of relying on shell RC file

To get an LXQt Wayland session working on Tumbleweed (they are kind of at the alpha/beta stages) you'll need the package lxqt-wayland-session, then one of the actual Wayland compositor session packages:

lxqt-hyprland-session
lxqt-labwc-session
lxqt-miriway-session
lxqt-niri-session
lxqt-river-session
lxqt-sway-session
lxqt-wayfire-session

Most distros will probably end up using labwc as the default Wayland compositor. From what I understand it's meant to be the Wayland replacement for OpenBox, which is usually used as the default window manager for X11/Xorg sessions of LXQt.
