@jbeich @Kranzes This is the first official release of wl-screenrec! (I beleive you are the people who have packaged this in FreeBSD and Nix respectively, apologies for the noise if not)

Packaging this project continues to be straightforward--just build the binary and install it somewhere into PATH.
