At the same time, the release of the Wine Staging 6.16 project has been formed, within which extended builds of Wine are created, including incomplete or risky patches that are not yet suitable for acceptance into the main Wine branch. Compared to Wine, Wine Staging provides 605 additional patches.
In the new release, synchronization with the Wine 6.16 codebase has been carried out. Two patches have been translated into the main Wine: ws2_32 (returns correct time for SO_CONNECT_TIME) and dpnet (implements IDirectPlay8Server EnumServiceProviders). Patches implementing the functions D3DX11GetImageInfoFromMemory and D3DX11CreateTextureFromMemory have been included. Updated patches server-default_integrity and ntdll-Syscall_Emulation.
