This represents a year of development effort with over 6,000 individual changes. Due to regular syncing between the wine-devel port and this one changes mostly relate to pkg-plist; the biggest difference between the two is wine-devel featuring a STAGING option to support the Wine Staging patchset. Highlights of this new release include Direct3D 12 and Vulkan support, as well as support for game controllers. It also goes along with a corresponding minor update of emulators/wine-mono. [1] The following is a more detailed list extracted from the full(er) release notes: == Direct3D - Initial support for Direct3D 12. Direct3D 12 support requires the vkd3d library, and a Vulkan-capable graphics card - this port now features new options, off by default, VKD3D and VULKAN which also pull in additional dependencies. - The Multi-Threaded Command Stream feature is enabled by default. - OpenGL core contexts are always used by default when available. In the previous release, these were already used by default for Direct3D 10 and 11 applications on AMD and Intel graphics cards. That has been extended to all graphics cards, and all versions of Direct3D before 12. - Among others, the following notable Direct3D 10 and 11 features are implemented: - Multi-sample textures and views, as well as multi-sample resolves. - Per-sample fragment shading. - Support for 1D textures. - Draws without render target views or depth/stencil views. - Multiple viewports and scissor rectangles per draw. - Depth clipping control. - Depth bias clamping. - Stream output without geometry shaders. - Several more capability queries. - Several more resource formats. - Several Direct3D 11 interfaces have been updated to version 11.2, and several DXGI interfaces have been update to version 1.6. This allows applications requiring those newer interfaces to start working. - The Direct3D graphics card database recognizes more graphics cards. == Graphics - A complete Vulkan driver is implemented, using the host Vulkan libraries under X11. - Icons in PNG format are supported, enabling loading high-resolution 256x256 icons. - The standard icons include a 256x256 version to take advantage of the PNG support. - Many Direct2D interfaces have been updated to version 1.2. - Polygon drawing in the DIB engine is much faster for large polygons. - A0, A1 and A2 paper sizes are supported for generic printers. - Arrows are supported in GdiPlus. == Kernel - Support for running DOS binaries under Wine is removed. When execution of a DOS binary is requested, an external DOSBox instance is launched. This doesn't apply to Win16 binaries, which are still supported internally. - All the CPU control and debug registers can be accessed by kernel drivers, including on 64-bit. - Events, semaphores, mutexes and timers are implemented in kernel mode for device drivers. - The WaitOnAddress synchronization primitives are supported. - Reported processor information correctly distinguishes logical and physical CPU cores to support hyper-threading. - The various debugger APIs support manipulating a 32-bit Wow64 process from a 64-bit process context. - Application settings, compatibility information and execution levels are recognized in application manifests. - The various file I/O completion modes are implemented. == User interface - The infrastructure for setting DPI awareness and scaling of non DPI-aware applications is implemented. However, actual scaling of window contents is only supported on Android at this point. Scaling is disabled by default and can be enabled by setting the "DpiScalingVer" value under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop. - Window class redirection is supported, enabling support of Common Controls version 6 features for standard USER controls like buttons. - The standard USER controls Button, Listbox, Combobox, Edit and Static support version 6 features, including theming. - The standard Task Dialog is implemented, including support for icons, hyperlinks, progress bars, and various other UI elements. - Cue banners are supported in version 6 of the Edit control. == Desktop integration - Exporting MIME-type file associations to the native desktop can be disabled with a checkbox under the Desktop Integration tab in winecfg. It can be configured programmatically by setting the "Enable" value under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\FileOpenAssociations. - The File Dialog can display file properties like size, times and attributes. - The File Dialog optionally shows the Places toolbar on the left-hand side. - The shell folder Public is used instead of AllUsersProfile to follow the behavior of recent Windows versions. - The shell File Browser supports keyboard shortcuts to rename (F2 key) and delete (Delete key) shell folders. - Many standard icons are added to the Shell library. - Shell Autocompletion is supported. - In desktop mode the taskbar won't be displayed on top of fullscreen windows. - Additional names are provided for standard cursors to better match existing X11 cursor themes. == Internet and networking - JScript has an EcmaScript compliant mode, which supports a number of features not available in legacy mode. - JavaScript property accessors are supported. - HTML style object is rewritten to support standard-compliant mode. - HTML documents respect X-UA-Compatible HTTP header, allowing web pages to request specific compatibility mode. - MSHTML supports non-HTML elements, allowing limited SVG support. - A number of new HTML APIs are supported. - The proxy server can be configured through the Internet Control Panel applet. - Stream I/O is implemented in WebServices. - The Web Services on Devices API (WSDAPI) is implemented, including sending and receiving the various message types. - More system information is reported through WBEM, including CPU, BIOS, video controller, and network adapter properties. == Cryptography - Asymmetric encryption keys, as well as RSA and ECDSA signature verification are supported. - The GCM and ECB encryption chaining modes are supported. - Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding (OAEP) is supported in RSA encryption. - A Kerberos security provider is implemented, supporting Kerberos authentication. - A selection dialog for public key certificates is implemented. - If available, GnuTLS is used on macOS in preference to the CommonCrypto framework. == Text and fonts - Character tables are based on version 11.0.0 of the Unicode Standard. - The new subpixel font rendering of FreeType >= 2.8.1 is supported. - When a font face is missing, FontConfig is queried to provide possible substitutions. - The font selected in the console emulator properly scales with the display DPI. - Memory font resources are supported in DirectWrite. - The builtin Wingdings font contains clock images. == Audio - The Windows Media Player interfaces are implemented and support media playback. - An MP3 decoder is provided as DirectX Media Object. == Built-in applications - The Ping program provides actual pinging functionality using IcmpSendEcho. - The SchTasks task scheduler program can create and delete tasks. - The RegEdit registry editor has an improved hex editor for binary values. - FOR loops are properly handled in the Command Interpreter. - The XCopy program supports the /k (keep attributes) option. == Internationalization - The Japanese 106 keyboard is properly supported. - Translation of timezone names is supported. - There is a partial translation to the Sinhala language. - More locales are supported in the Resource Compiler (wrc) and Message Compiler (wmc). == .NET - 32-bit CIL-only .NET binaries are supported on 64-bit. - The Mono engine is updated to version 4.7.5 with some upstream Mono fixes. Hence this also update the emulators/wine-mono port. == Installers - MSI custom actions run in a separate process, enabling proper support for mixed 32/64-bit installers. - Deferred installation actions are supported in MSI. == Miscellaneous - The Task Scheduler service and APIs are implemented. - The Windows Management Instrumentation service is implemented. - The OPC Services (Open Packaging Conventions, used for Microsoft Office XML files) library is implemented.
