I added alacritty some time ago but I do use it every day.  I don’t use Wayland (yet) though so I can’t say whether the hack in question is working. I can confirm that the update is just fine on X though.

Sorry for not keeping it more up to date!  I think the alacritty project itself has been slow to make releases, to be fair, though.  Thanks for taking a look at it!
