On January 22nd, WineHQ ended the current stable version of its software for running Windows applications on other operating systems and He launched WINE 10.0 stable. That iteration was in development throughout 2024, and the time has come to look ahead. A few hours ago we they have delivered WINE 10.1, which is the first development version of what will arrive next year. This 10.1 should not be confused with anything stable.
WineHQ uses the following numbering: when in development, it puts the number of the previous stable version followed by a number. If they release a corrective version of the stable version, that iteration is zero-point-version. That is: the stable version is now 10.0 and if they release a maintenance version it will be 10.0.1, while 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, etc. will be the development versions of WINE 11.0. With this explained, let's move on to the new features of this version.
WINE 10.1 highlights a wide range of changes that were postponed during the code freeze, fixes to Battle.net root certificates, improvements to the print provider, and further improvements to the Bluetooth driver, plus the usual smattering of bug fixes. As for numbers, there have been 343 changes and corrected 35 bugs, those in the following list.
