Having arrived the previous version On June 12th, and taking into account the phase we are in, WINE 11.12 It should have arrived last Friday, the 26th. The thing is, we're already well into summer in the Northern Hemisphere, where most of the Wine Is Not an Emulator contributors live, and that's probably why we're seeing strange things on the calendar.

Specifically, 27 bugs have been corrected, as listed below. 215 changes introduced.
