And to save you an extra click here's what was changed in Wine Mono 10.2.0:
- Mono's handling of arrays with no defined size in native wrappers now treats them as having a size of 1, matching .NET Framework. This fixes a crash in some winforms applications when used with accessibility tools.

- Modified FNA's
Texture2D
class to be xml-serializable. This is used (but not really) by Meridian: New World. It attempts to serialize a class containing a nullTexture2D
field, but just having the field is enough to cause an error.- Implemented some
Microsoft.DirectX.DirectInput.Device
methods used by the Sega Rally launcher.- Technical
