Following yesterday’s release of Wine 11.1 for kicking off the new post-11.0 development cycle, Wine-Staging 11.1 is now available for this experimental/testing version of Wine that present is around 254 patches over the upstream Wine state.
Besides re-basing those 250+ patches to the latest Wine Git state, the latest VKD3D Git code is also pulled into Wine-Staging 11.1. There is some new feature work with Wine-Staging… Landing the new patches for enabling the recent Adobe Photoshop versions to successfully install and run under Wine on Linux.
As covered last week, the latest Adobe Photoshop installer is working and the app running with some new patches against the Wine code for its MSXML3 and MSHTML code. Those patches were cited in Bug 47015 for upstream Wine around the Photoshop Creative Cloud 2019 screen hitting MSXML3 errors.
Upstream Wine Git hasn’t yet taken those patches but now they are in Wine-Staging 11.1 for further testing by the community.
Hopefully the testing will go well and those patches will get picked up by an upstream Wine 11.x bi-weekly development release in the near future.
Besides those MSHTML/MSXML3 work to benefit Adobe software, there aren’t any other new patches in Wine-Staging 11.1. Those looking for new binaries to test it out can find them via WineHQ.org.
