The next Wine [Official Site] development release is now available, so grab that corkscrew and your favourite glass.

As expected, the Wine team have been keeping the updates coming approximately every two weeks to show off what they've been working on. The progress over the course of this year has been pretty amazing.

Here's the highlights of what's new in the 3.18 release:

  • Subpixel font rendering with FreeType >= 2.8.1.
  • Support for OAEP algorithm in RSA encryption.
  • Array marshalling fixes in DCOM.
  • Improved DPI scaling in the Wine console.

As for bug fixes, they noted quite a few this time with 46 marked as solved. The usual applies though, some were fixed in earlier releases and only picked up now. As for this release, they fixed issues with Black Desert Online, EA Origin, multiple games crashed on the unimplemented function "kernel32.dll.GetQueuedCompletionStatusEx", Carmageddon: Max Damage and so on.

Quoting: GuestThe big news today is Transform Feedback support for DXVK and RADV...

This is vulkan 1.1.88 updated today

https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Docs/commit/0a7a04f32bd473bc7428efdbbbe132f33afad68c

Change log for October 13, 2018 Vulkan 1.1.88 spec update:

* Update release number to 88.

Public Issues:

* Make clear that
tname:PFN_vkDebugUtilsMessengerCallbackEXT::pname:messageTypes is a
bitmask, and correct a typo in the spelling of
slink:VkDebugUtilsMessengerCreateInfoEXT.txt::pname:messageType (public
pull request 800).
* Make an ABI-compatible change of the type of
slink:VkPhysicalDeviceDriverPropertiesKHR::pname:driverID to use the new
elink:VkDriverIdKHR type (public issue 811).

Internal Issues:

* Clarify for the <<features-features-shaderStorageImageExtendedFormats>>
feature and in the <<spirvenv-capabilities-table>> that the feature
means that all of the formats are supported, and that otherwise the
features can be queried per-format (internal issue 1273).
* Clarified interactions of `VK_EXT_external_memory_host` with host cache
management commands and structures flink:vkMapMemory,
flink:vkFlushMappedMemoryRanges, slink:VkMappedMemoryRange, and
flink:vkUnmapMemory using the new glossary term "`Host Mapped Device
Memory`" (internal issue 1385).
* Update the language for flink:vkCreateViSurfaceNN.txt describing the
pname:currentExtent of a VI surface to more accurately reflect current
capabilities, replacing "`undefined`" with more explicit behavior
(internal issue 1410).

New Extensions:

* `VK_EXT_calibrated_timestamps`
* `VK_EXT_image_drm_format_modifier` (this extension was previously
disabled in vk.xml, and has now been enabled after some changes to fix
performance issues).
* `VK_EXT_pci_bus_info`
* `VK_EXT_transform_feedback`
* `VK_GOOGLE_hlsl_functionality1`, exposing support for
`SPV_GOOGLE_hlsl_functionality1`.
* `VK_GOOGLE_decorate_string`, exposing support for
`SPV_GOOGLE_decorate_string`.

Quoting: mrdeathjrAnd nvidia vulkan drivers 410.57.xx ? also will be out on any moment

According to Doitsujin it'll be 396.54.09. Takes quite a bit of work to make it work though. I'm sure Lutris will make sure it all happens though.

Big changelog, a lot of important bugs corrected.
"45680 Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (SP1) fails to install in 64-bit WINEPREFIX"
When Proton will integrate this version, we should install and play games that use .Net 3.5 (L.A. Noire, Batman...).

However i believe etan lee work could be definitive solution as FAudio for xaudio issues

Maybe him can fix gstreamer issues: infamous wine 9127 bug and company

Wine has been on a roll this year. I wonder if it's because Valve helped.
