last commits seen here.

Right now there appear to be no Wayland compatible smallish terminal emulators (with relative few dependencies), ie look here and this list.

What would you suggest to use/keep an eye on with rather few dependencies?

The libtsm used in havoc is forked from the original, has several improvements and bugfixes and is maintained by me. I suggest you use havoc of course :), but I might be biased there. I use it everyday myself.

Sounds good to me then. Do you want to host it somewhere more prominent maybe or is that too much maintenance churn?

I thought about maintaining libtsm standalone if that's what you mean. I ended up not doing that because I wanted to break backward compatibility of the library API to better suit havoc.

There was an effort to maintain libtsm here https://github.com/Aetf/libtsm, but it looks like that has died since and they were bloating it up without fixing its bugs so I decided not to use that one back in the day as well.
