application.

## Release signatures
Releases are signed with
[6EBC43B1](http://keys.gnupg.net/pks/lookup?op=vindex&fingerprint=on&search=0x37C445296EBC43B1)
and published on [GitHub](https://github.com/Hjdskes/cage/releases).
## Building and running Cage
You can build Cage with the [meson](https://mesonbuild.com/) build system. It
requires wayland, wlroots and xkbcommon to be installed. Note that Cage is
developed against the latest tag of wlroots, in order to not constantly chase
breaking changes as soon as they occur.
Simply execute the following steps to build Cage:
```
$ meson build
$ ninja -C build
```
Cage comes with compile-time support for XWayland. To enable this,
first make sure that your version of wlroots is compiled with this
option. Then, add `-Dxwayland=true` to the `meson` command above. Note
that you'll need to have the XWayland binary installed on your system
for this to work.
You can run Cage by running `./build/cage APPLICATION`. If you run it
from within an existing X11 or Wayland session, it will open in a
virtual output as a window in your existing session. If you run it at
a TTY, it'll run with the KMS+DRM backend. In debug mode (default
build type with Meson), press Alt+Esc to quit. To build a release
build, use `meson build --buildtype=release`.
For more information, see the [Wiki](https://github.com/Hjdskes/cage/wiki).
Cage is based on the annotated source of tinywl and rootston.
