After a delay due to the release manager travelling, the Wine 10.13 release is officially out now for the Windows compatibility layer.
The main highlights from this release:
- Windows.Gaming.Input configuration tab in the Joystick Control Panel.
- ECDSA_P521 and ECDH_P521 algorithms in BCrypt.
- OpenGL WoW64 thunks are all generated.
- Still more support for Windows Runtime metadata in WIDL.
- Various bug fixes.
Some bug fixes were noted for Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Nioh 2 - The Complete Edition, Doom 3: BFG Edition, Bejeweled 3, Gothic and Gothic II.

For developers working on Wine, they've also modernised the patches workflow so that everything will go through merge requests on GitLab rather than a mailing list.

Esync patches are still disabled in this release. Sticking to 10.10 until NTSync makes an appearance.

I'm disappointed that there hasn't been any (visible) progress on ntsync patches merge request.

Yep, that's exactly what I'm doing. Unfortunately ntsync progress hit a snag and it will take some time before they'll sort it out.
I don't expect esync to be re-enabled though. They merged part of nstync preparations which I guess makes maintaining esync patches a mess and they don't want to do it. But on the other hand I wish they still did it, since ntsync is delayed.

They are working on it. Apparently there were some problems with the current version which they still didn't resolve.
