With Wine 2.0 right around the corner, the Wine development team has released RC2 of Wine 2.0. No new features as they are in a code-freeze, but it has 20 bugs fixed.
Bugs fixed:
31222 Hitman: Blood Money crashes when changing screen resolution
31309 TIE Fighter: Collector's Edition Crash - 'Escape Menu' Freezes Application.
32632 Dragon Naturally Speaking 12 does not load with timeout error
34829 wintrust:softpub crashes on Windows 8
35495 sharing violation and prompt for copy /B file1+file2 file1
38357 Cannot install download-audiograbber.exe
39430 Ride : The motorcycle game does not start
40256 user32:input fails on non-qwerty keyboards
40344 shell32:assoc regression (privilege issue)
40386 wininet:url regression caused by new cross-compiler
40978 Wrong colors on i915 and similar GPUs in GTA Vice City
41083 Red Faction: Guerrilla fails to start with DX11 renderer
41133 R32/R16 typeless formats generate incomplete FBO errors when used as a render target (Gauntlet, WoW with D3D11 renderer)
41141 gcc6: d3drm build warnings
41252 Helldivers gives this error when trying to run on MacOS
41630 Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum crashes on exit
41715 winhttp:winhttp test regression (test_secure_connection)
41717 webservices:writer test regression in test_datetime
41949 Pasting into IDA Pro stops working on macOS
41956 Regression in wininet crashes skype
For those using the development builds of Wine, not much will be different in Wine 2.0 since you're up to date, but for those sticking with stable builds of Wine the 2.0 release will be pretty big of course.
I imagine most people are looking forward to DirectX 11, which likely won't be ready until a much later version of Wine. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.
