An experimental release of the open-source implementation of the Win32 API has taken place – Wine 6.1 . Since the release of 6.0, 37 bug reports have been closed and 327 changes have been made. Recall that starting from the 2.x branch, the Wine project switched to a version numbering scheme, in which each stable release leads to an increase in the first digit in the version number (5.0.0, 6.0.0), and updates to stable releases are released with a change in the third digit (6.0.1, 6.0.2, 6.0.3). Experimental versions developed in preparation for the next major release are released with a change to the second digit (6.1, 6.2, 6.3).
Most important changes:
- The WIDL (Wine Interface Definition Language) compiler has extended support for WinRT IDL (Interface Definition Language).
- The code of the VKD3D project has been updated to version 1.2 with the implementation of Direct3D 12, which works through the translation of calls to the Vulkan graphics API.
- Added support for translator memory layout Rosetta used in Apple devices with M1 chip.
- For 32-bit ARM systems, support is provided for the Thumb-2 instruction set.
- Closed bug reports related to the work of games and applications
