Pretty exciting times for the Wine team, with the release of VKD3D version 1.1 of their Direct3D 12 to Vulkan translation library.

While we've talked a lot about DXVK recently, let's not forget other interesting projects like VK9 (formerly SchaeferGL) which aims to give Direct3D 9 over Vulkan.

DXVK, which provides a Vulkan-based D3D11 and D3D10 implementation for use in Wine has a new build out. The pace of development on this continues to absolutely mesmerise me.

DXVK continues the amazing progress towards helping Linux gamers play their favourite Windows-only games on Linux.

There's so many incredible things going on around Wine right now it's hard to keep track. DXVK is now expanding to support Direct3D 10 over Vulkan in Wine. There's also a new Direct3D 9-to-11 project to convert Direct3D 9 programs to Direct3D 11.

DXVK continues to astound me in both the speed of development and just how much it can do. This Vulkan-based layer to provide D3D11 in Wine has matured with another new release.
