As anticipated the first release candidate of Wine 11.0 is now available in working toward the annual stable release in January.
Alexandre Julliard just released Wine 11.0-rc1 that caps off the Wine 10.xx bi-weekly development releases and also marks the start of the code freeze until Wine 11.0 stable releases sometime in January. Until then it’s the weekly release candidates to iron out any lingering bugs.
There was some last minute changes to land this week for Wine 11.0-rc1, including an updated Mono engine:
– Mono engine updated to version 10.4.0.
– Locale data updated to Unicode CLDR 48.
– TWAINDSM module for scanner support on 64-bit.
– Various bug fixes.
And, yes, very interesting as we get ready for this Wine 11.0 release with NTSYNC support, many other Windows gaming support, and other big enhancements, there is now… A TWAINDSM module for scanners on 64-bit Wine. TWAIN is the API and communication protocol for interfacing between applications and digital imaging devices such as image scanners. TWAINDSM is the library for the TWAIN Data Source Manager.
There are also 17 known bug fixes with Wine 11.0-rc1 fixing games like Mass Effect Legendary to apps like Photoshop CS 2.
