```
New in these ISOs since 2023-01-16:

Only 64 bit ISOs are made as QtWebEngine refuses to build in 32 bit chroots

Config files in packages built by checkinstall are correctly marked as config files

Files from the build process are all part of packages, and are not ophaned

The number of potential file conflicts with unintalled packages from the tier 1 Debian repo has been vastly reduced. The few that remain are properly handled by dpkg-divert

Linux 6.6 is built, meaning that now all drivers support wlroots now without the need for workarounds

The tier 1 packages are now Debian Bookworm

Qt5 is now removed in favor of Qt6

The build_core automatic dependancy detection has been improved

The waylandloginmanager, using a solution inspired by xrdp supports 1 user having parrallel sessions started by systemd-user to be logged in

waylandloginmanager exports WLM_XDG_SEAT and WLM_XDG_SESSION for sessions that unset XDG_SEAT and XDG_SESSION 

wlsuhelper is dropped, in favor of wlsu which is easier to use

Plymouth starts earlier in the boot process

The build process's usage of overlayfs is less hacky

waylandloginmanager uses kdialog now instead of zenity

waylandloginmanager no longer supports the wlmdebuginsecure boot option

Instead of /srcbuild packages now source download to /var/cache/srcbuild when being built, and instead of /buildlogs, they get logged to /var/log/buildlogs

waylandloginmanager now shows the session name in the session switcher, (eg: "Default Weston", "KDE", etc)

waylandloginmanager guesses the WAYLAND_DISPLAY of the current session so that the GTK portal starts, allowing GTK programs to not hang on startup. This is for sessions that don't have systemd integration to update the activation environment such as Weston. While Weston allows a WAYLAND_DISPLAY to be set, most other display servers do not have a way for login managers to force a known WAYLAND_DISPLAY

waylandloginmanager has been made more resillent to handling commands if two or more are sent to its FIFO at a time very quickly

configureseats list of proposed changes is now scrollable, instead of making a very tall dialog if there are multiple changes

The Grub menu, the boot splash, and the wallpaper for the loginmanagerdisplay are now all the same, this leads to a even more transitionless boot than the flicker free boot in the previous ISO

labwc, cage, sway, and wayfire all depend on different versions of wlroots, but with some workarounds, multiple versions of wlroots are installed, without conflict, to allow the latest version of each

The waylandloginmanager creates the ~/.cache/wlsessionlogs folder in the correct order

The waylandloginmanager's handling of the loginmanager_register fifo is more robust

The waylandloginmanager detects Weston's capabilities better, in case the installed Weston doesn't support fullscreen-shell for nested sessions
```


```
Usage:

There is no password for the Live Session User (rebestie), while auto login is enabled when starting as a live CD. The password is blank
