This is the 420th issue of the World Wine News publication. Its main goal is to inform you of what's going on around Wine. Wine is an open-source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. Think of it as a Windows compatibility layer. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely alternative implementation consisting of 100% Microsoft-free code.

  • Converted macOS driver to PE.
  • Mono engine updated to version 7.3.0.
