Wine 3.11 and Wine Staging 3.11 both got released recently

By - | Views: 12,107

Wine 3.11 (insert joke about Wine for Workgroups 3.11) is the latest development release of the compatibility layer allowing you to play Windows games on Linux. 

Here's the highlights from the latest release:

  • More debugger support for Wow64 processes.
  • Support for sha256/sha384 hashes in ECDSA signatures.
  • Better reporting of hyper-threaded CPUs.
  • Improvements to the standard Task Dialog.

In terms of bugs they noted as being fixed there's only 12 this time around. Do remember though, that the number could be a lot higher. A lot of these are based on user reports of issues being solved.

We've also just seen the release of Wine Staging 3.11, although I don't really know what they're doing lately since they don't post changelogs since the change in developers. You can see some of what's changed thanks to being able to compare on GitHub, although that's really quite technical stuff and not exactly easy to comprehend. I miss the proper changelogs, they were nice for a dum-dum like me to keep up to date on it.

Quoting: yar4eFinally! After 7 years of existence bug with flickering sky in Mafia 2 was fixed in 3.11! Now the game runs near perfect!

The flickering sky issue with Mafia 2 is still present with 3.11/3.11-staging. The shadows issue was actually fixed with Wine 3.7 but was only officially closed with this release.

Ha! Then sorry for disinformation. Don't have time to check it by myself yet. Then need to open new issue about flickering sky if there isn't already and wait another 7 years :)
