Failure Following DISABLE

So I'm using way-displays to control screen idle action via swayidle:

swayidle -w timeout 150 "way-displays -s DISABLED eDP-1" resume "way-displays -d DISABLED eDP-1"

this worked fine until the upgrade a few days ago but now, it tells me display is disabled, even though it clearly is not:

Client sending request: set
  Disabled:
    eDP-1

Server received request: set
  Disabled:
    eDP-1

New configuration:
  Arrange in a ROW aligned at the TOP
  Scaling: ON
  Auto scale: OFF
  Disabled:
    eDP-1
ERROR: way-displays not running, check $XDG_VTNR

the last line happens when the resume is supposed to kick in. Other than this hiccup, this has been a pretty awesome and handy utility!

It looks like the server died when setting DISABLED. I'll look into that.

Which version are you running? way-displays --version

Has this ever worked or is this a new problem?

This should be resolved by 1.8.1.

Please watch Package Manager for your distribution.

sorry, was out and about. This was working and stable on version 1.7.1. It started with 1.8.0 and I just installed 1.8.1 which seems to resolve the issue. Thanks for being so on top of things!
