Additionally, a release for the Wine Staging project 11.0-rc1 has been created, providing extended builds of Wine that include incomplete or risky patches that are not yet suitable for inclusion in the main Wine branch. In comparison to Wine, Wine Staging offers 253 additional patches. The new release of Wine Staging has synchronized with the Wine 11.0-rc1 codebase and incorporated fresh changes from vkd3d.
