Wine 11.17, the latest bi-weekly feature development release, is now available, bringing initial support for display mode emulation to the compatibility layer enabling Windows applications to run on Linux. Rémi Bernon led the development of this feature, which allows OpenGL scaling based on the emulated resolution, described as OpenGL rendering virtualization.
The new display mode emulation renders content to a virtual size before displaying it in the actual host window. This release also incorporates the new VKD3D 2.1 release, providing Direct3D 12 support over Vulkan. Additionally, Wine 11.17 includes improved support for preferred user interface languages.
Alongside these major features, the release addresses a total of 44 known bug fixes impacting a variety of games and applications. A comprehensive list of changes can be found on WineHQ.org.
