The most significant changes:
- The Wine Mono engine with .NET platform implementation has been updated to release 7.4.

Linking is ensured for system fonts MS UI Gothic, Tahoma, Microsoft JhengHei, MingLiU, MS Gothic, Yu Gothic UI, Meiryo, and MS Mincho.

Additionally, it is worth mentioning the formation of the Wine Staging 7.20 project release, which creates extended Wine builds that include not fully ready or risky patches that are not yet suitable for acceptance into the main Wine branch. Compared to Wine, Wine Staging provides 515 additional patches. In this new release, synchronization with the Wine 7.20 codebase has been accomplished.
