Wine development is starting to heat up again, as Wine 2.2 is now officially available. Sounds like a good one too.

Wine-Staging has a big new update which brings in their CSMT (Command Stream Multithreading) support for DirectX 10 & 11.

Wine 2.1 is the first development snapshot of the newest Wine code since they release the big 2.0 update. It's a pretty good start too!

The Linux Wine-port of Iron Sky: Invasion is now officially out of beta and it's on sale with 80% off for another few days.

The Wine Staging team has release their 2.0 release and they have also written up a blog post detailing work on Vulkan, DX11 and more. Seems a number of DX11 games now work!

I just got the announce email from the Wine team that Wine 2.0 is now officially available. It's an absolutely massive release!

Wine-Staging have released their 2.0-rc6 release and it brings in some more D3D11 work further pushing what can be run with Wine.

Wine 2.0-rc6 is now available and it brings in another 21 bug fixes which should make this a seriously stable release. It has no new features, as they are in a code freeze.

Wine Staging have released their 2.0-rc5 release which sounds like a pretty interesting release. Plenty of new stuff to play with.

Wine 2.0 has a fifth release candidate to fix up more bugs to make Wine 2.0 truly as stable as possible.

As promised, Topware Interactive have released a Linux beta of X-Blades on Steam that uses Wine to make it easy for you.

Wine 2.0-rc4 has been released with 28 bug fixes. It's a pretty quiet release with no new features as they are in a code freeze to prepare the big 2.0 stable release.

Wine Staging, the testing area for future Wine releases has been updated today and it pulls in some patches that allow DOOM to actually run with Wine on Linux.

With Wine 2.0 right around the corner, the Wine development team has released RC2 of Wine 2.0. No new features as they are in a code-freeze, but it has 20 bugs fixed.

Topware Interactive are again continuing their Wine porting of older titles, this time it's Iron Sky Invasion.

CrossOver, the commercial interface for Wine has a new major version out, which uses the upcoming Wine 2.0 code.

Recently Wine 2.0-rc1 has been released as the next step towards another major stable release of Wine. Additionally, the Wine developers have talked about ongoing Direct3D 11 development and getting Overwatch to work.

It seems Topware Interactive are continuing their Linux push with their classic games and I've noticed a few more that seem to be coming.

The Wine team released yesterday another development release of their software. Version 1.9.23 has many small changes including 32 bugfixes.

Wine is a rather heated topic at the best of times, but I think we can all agree what the Wine developers have been able to achieve is nothing short of extraordinary. Wine enabled me to re-live an experience I had with a game as a child, and I felt the need to share it.
