The first Wine development build of this year, as well as being the first build towards Wine 5.0 is now out.
Announcing the release last night, Wine’s Alexandre Julliard noted these improvements coming with Wine 4.1:
- Support for NT kernel spinlocks.
- Better glyph positioning in DirectWrite.
- More accurate reporting of CPU information.
- Context handle fixes in the IDL compiler.
- Preloader fixes on macOS.
- Various bug fixes.
With the bug fixes, they noted 30 in total being squashed. These include issues solved with GOG Galaxy, Gas Guzzlers Combat Carnage, Empire Earth and more. As usual though, some bugs were fixed previously and only seeing a status update now.
