PayPalBringing many improvements to running Windows apps and games on Linux, Wine version 10.18 has arrived as we close in on the Wine 11 release.
Here's the highlights:
- OpenGL memory mapping using Vulkan in WoW64 mode.
- Synchronization barriers API.
- Support for WinRT exceptions.
- SCSI pass-through in WoW64 mode.
- Various bug fixes.
With the WoW64 mode improvements, we should hopefully see more games now run better in the pure 64-bit Wine builds. Looking over the bug fixes there's issues solved for the likes of a Yukon Trail bug report from 2007, Sid Meier's Pirates!, C&C Generals Zero Hour, Autodesk Fusion, Keepass 2, Nightshade, Jolly Rover, The Witcher 2, MDK 2, PlayOnline Viewer (FINAL FANTASY XI) and more.
