We're on the road to the release of Wine 11 early next year with the first Release Candidate now available for the Windows compatibility layer. This is what Valve's Proton is originally based on, and so eventually next year we'll see Proton 11 too.
Now that this release is out, they will move onto a feature-freeze to focus on fixing up bugs.
The highlights of this Wine 11 RC 1 release include:
- Mono engine updated to version 10.4.0.
- Locale data updated to Unicode CLDR 48.
- TWAINDSM module for scanner support on 64-bit.
- Various bug fixes.
A few game fixes were noted for the likes of Oblivion, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, King's Quest: Mask of Eternity and various others.
