Wine Staging 10.5 has been officially released, bringing several notable updates including a rebase against Wine 10.5, an updated vkd3d-latest patch set, and the restoration of the winex11-_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW feature. Additionally, it includes a rebase and re-enablement of ntdll-ForceBottomUpAlloc and enhancements to ntdll-Syscall_Emulation that allow for syscall trapping in the top-down reserved area.
What is Wine Staging?
Wine Staging serves as the experimental branch of winehq.org, designed for testing new features and bug fixes that have yet to be merged into the main development branch. This environment allows users to access experimental features more swiftly while providing developers a platform to refine and discuss their patches before they are incorporated into the main version. For further details, users can visit the Wine Staging website at wine-staging.com.
Installation Instructions
Wine Staging offers ready-to-use packages for various Linux distributions and Mac OS X. Users should refer to the installation instructions tailored to their operating systems. On many distributions, Wine Staging is installed in /opt/wine-staging, enabling multiple versions of Wine to coexist. As a result, users will need to run Wine by specifying the full path, such as /opt/wine-staging/bin/wine, rather than just typing 'wine'. This applies to other related programs like winecfg as well. For guidance on using Wine Staging, additional usage instructions are provided.
Change Log Highlights:
- Rebase against Wine 10.5
- Updated vkd3d-latest patch set
- Restoration of winex11-_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW feature
- Rebase and re-enablement of ntdll-ForceBottomUpAlloc
- Enhanced syscall trapping in ntdll-Syscall_Emulation for top-down reserved areas
