An experimental release of the open implementation of the Win32 API - Wine 8.1. Since the release of 8.0, 27 bug reports have been closed and 299 changes have been made. Recall that starting from the 2.x branch, the Wine project switched to a version numbering scheme, in which each stable release leads to an increase in the first digit in the version number (7.0.0, 8.0.0), and updates to stable releases are released with a change in the third digit (8.0.1, 8.0.2, 8.0.3). Experimental versions developed in preparation for the next major release are released with a change in the second digit (8.1, 8.2, 8.3).
The most important changes:
- The Windows version for the new prefixes is set to Windows 10.
- Included changes with code cleanup results deferred during the 8.0 release freeze.
- Added support for the Vulkan extension VK_EXT_hdr_metadata needed to work with HDR in games based on the Vulkan graphics API, such as Doom Eternal.
- Closed bug reports related to the operation of games: Dungeons, Diablo III, World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Anno 1800, GOG Galaxy.
- Closed bug reports related to the operation of applications: FL Studio, Free PC Audit 5.1.211.96, Snagit, AviUtl.
