Wine 10 Includes Plenty to Excite Users
With its latest release, Wine has the usual crop of bug fixes and improvements, along with some exciting new features.
Get out your corkscrews, Wine 10 is here with plenty of new features. At top billing is a new experimental Bluetooth driver, but the excitement doesn't end there. You'll also find a new opt-in experimental mode for emulating display changes (instead of actually changing them). The display change option can be found in a new Wine Desktop Control Panel applet.
There's also the Wine Wayland driver, which shows considerable maturity and is already usable for running Windows software natively under Wayland.
Other changes include improved support for HiDPI for modern high-density displays, an opt-in FFmpeg-based multimedia back end, support for Vulkan 1.4.303 as well as Vulkan Video extensions, full ARM64EC support, Mono 9.4 integration, full Dvorak keyboard support, initial process elevation to administrator access when needed, and more.
You can view the full release notes here and download the source for Wine 10 from the official download site. You will also find binary packages, including binary installers for Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, macOS, SUSE, Slackware, and FreeBSD.
