WINE 9.16

WineHQ He launched on Friday evening WINE 9.16. It is the usual schedule, and they usually present us the versions of Wine Is Not an Emulator very punctually. It wasn't like that two weeks ago, when they did it on Sunday and it caught us all a little by surprise. It's summer in the northern hemisphere and we can expect changes to the schedule and less input from developers.

In which WINE 9.16 almost coincides with the old v9.5 It is to have a short list of new features, although this time it may be a bit of a placebo effect, since we have already had 3 highlights in other times. The list includes implementation of the Initial Driver Store, support for Pbuffer in the Wayland driver and more prototype objects in MSHTML, to which is added the fourth point of several bug fixes. As for numbers, 279 changes were introduced and corrected 25 bugs, which you have below
