The release of the Bottles project version 2022.1.28 has been announced, which develops an application to simplify the installation, configuration, and launching of Windows applications on Linux using Wine or Proton. The program provides an interface for managing prefixes that define the Wine environment and parameters for launching applications, as well as tools for installing dependencies needed for the proper operation of the launched programs. The project code is written in Python and is distributed under the GPLv3 license. The program is available in Flatpak format and in packages for Arch Linux. <\/p>\n

Instead of the Winetricks script, Bottles uses a complete dependency management system for installing additional libraries, similar to dependency management in the package managers of distributions. For each launched Windows application, a list of dependencies (DLL libraries, fonts, runtime, etc.) is determined, which need to be downloaded and installed for normal operation, with each dependency potentially having its own dependencies.

\"Release<\/center> <\/p>\n

Bottles provides a repository with information about dependencies for various programs and libraries, as well as tools for centralized dependency management. All installed dependencies are tracked, so when removing a program, related dependencies can also be removed if they are not used to run other applications. This approach eliminates the need to install a separate version of Wine for each application and allows for the use of a single Wine environment to run as many applications as possible.

\"Release<\/center> <\/p>\n

To work with Windows prefixes in Bottles, the concept of environments is applied, providing ready-made settings, libraries, and dependencies for a specific class of applications. Basic environments offered include: Gaming \u2014 for games, Software \u2014 for applications, and Custom \u2014 a clean environment for conducting your own experiments. The gaming environment includes DXVK, VKD3D, Esync, discrete graphics are activated on systems with hybrid graphics, and PulseAudio includes settings to enhance sound quality. The application environment includes settings suitable for both multimedia programs and office applications.

\"Release<\/center> <\/p>\n

If necessary, multiple versions of wine, proton, and dxvk can be installed, allowing for on-the-fly switching between them. Importing environments from other Wine managers, such as Lutris and PlayOnLinux, is possible. Environments are launched using sandbox isolation, separated from the main system, and have access only to necessary data in the home directory. Version control support is provided, automatically saving the state before installing each new dependency and allowing rollback to one of the previous states in case of issues.
