This is the 422nd issue of World Wine News. 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.


2-for-1

I haven't made it out for a 2-for-1 special since my college days, but here we are. Wine 7.12 and 7.13 were released on the 1st and 15th, respectively. My cup(s) overfloweth.

I am (fashionably) late to the party, so I will leave this rehash here for your consideration. The two releases included the following:

  • Gecko engine updated to version 2.47.3.
  • USB driver converted to PE.
  • Some theming improvements.
  • Theming support for Qt5 applications.
  • Bundled vkd3d upgraded to version 1.4.
  • Improved effect support in Direct2D.
  • QWORD support in registry tools.
