An experimental release of the open implementation of WinAPI — Wine 7.11 has taken place. Since the release of version 7.10, 34 bug reports have been closed and 285 changes have been made.
The most significant changes:
- The driver for Android has been transitioned to use the PE (Portable Executable) format instead of ELF.
- The winegstreamer library has implemented support for direct output mode (without intermediate buffering, zero-copy) of multimedia content using GStreamer.
- Symbol register mapping data for extended planes (code ranges) of Unicode has been added.
- Bug reports related to games have been closed: Civilization 4, Mayhem Triple, Euphoria, SpinTires, Mafia, Mafia II, Saints Row The Third Remastered, Cyberpunk 2077, Stranger of Paradise, Doom Eternal, Epic Games Launcher, Ubisoft Connect.
- Bug reports related to applications have been closed: Archicad 22, Adobe Lightroom Classic 11.1, Foobar2000, TIP-Integral, EasyMiniGW.
Additionally, the release of the Wine Staging 7.11 project is noted, which forms extended Wine builds including incomplete or risky patches that are not yet suitable for inclusion in the main Wine branch. Compared to Wine, Wine Staging provides 542 additional patches.
The new release has synchronized with the Wine 7.11 codebase. Three patches have been transferred to the main Wine: In faudio, the NOTIFY_CUESTOP notification is now sent when playback stops; In dwmapi, the parameters rateRefresh, rateCompose, and qpcRefreshPeriod are populated in DwmGetCompositionTimingInfo(), and DwmFlush() now returns the state S_OK.
