The latest development release of the Windows compatibility layer Wine 11.9 has arrived with new features and bug fixes. We usually see one new main stable release of Wine per year, so expect Wine 12 sometime in January 2027.
From the changelog the highlights for Wine 11.9 are:
- Bundled SQLite library.
- Initial support for system threads.
- Thread suspension in emulated code on ARM64.
- More VBScript compatibility improvements.
- Various bug fixes.
While it wasn't noted in the highlights, they also merged in support for Wayland's Pointer warp.
This release has bug fixes for the likes of Lotus Notes 8, WinSCP, Wargaming Game Center, Graphpad Prism 9, Photoshop CS 2, SteelSeries GG, Command & Conquer 3, Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 and more.
Valve also currently have a Proton 11 Beta based on Wine 11, hopefully it will release properly soon.

Can anyone try to run Legacy of Kain Defiance Remastered with this version?
In my case since 11.8 (and now 11.9 too), it's crashing on startup. Reverting to 11.7 works fine.
