WineHQ continues to tirelessly improve its software to run Windows software on other operating systems without emulation. The latest development version has seen the light just a few hours ago, and it's WINE 10.12, which features some interesting new features. For example, support for Bluetooth LE devices has been added, allowing low-power wireless devices to connect to applications running through WINE.
The rest of the list of notable new features is completed by the optional EGL backend in the X11 driver, more support for generating Windows Runtimes in WIDL and ARM64 builds enabled in GitLab CI, in addition to the usual list of miscellaneous fixes.
