Wine Staging 2.4 released

By -
Not quite as interesting as past Wine Staging releases, but the team have put out their 2.4 release with additional work.

New in Wine Staging 2.4:
- Implementation of more System/Process/Thread information classes and values.
- More complete object type implementation.
- Improved GDI+ scaling performance.
- Various smaller improvements.

It also, of course, brings in these changes from the Wine 2.4 development release:
- Mono engine updated with upstream fixes.
- More Direct3D command stream work.
- Simulated bold and italic in DirectWrite.
- Improvements to the XML reader.
- Various bug fixes.

Guys? This is a wine topic. I know this is a volatile subject around here and I appreciate the joke but isn't the spoiler thing just a bit unnecessary?

Actually, I think they're just doing it for the LOLs. But yes, considering the topic it is a bit silly.

Spoiler, click me
In short if you want to use the Windows version of Galaxy under Wine use the most recent version of Wine Staging since Galaxy makes use of quite a few features not yet implemented in vanilla Wine.

Spoiler, click me
It sounds like there is a Linux version of Galaxy somewhere nearby... ;) Of course I want to use the Linux version and not the Windows one, but as of now I simply have no choice. Just want to have a glimpse at that client which revently was updated to 1.2 with big news on the site yet, no Linux version mentioned.

Is it really? That would be amazing! Do you have any link with those news? If possible, of course :)

I don't think anything changed recently. Someone just noticed long existed note about "coming soon", and didn't realize it's Soon™.

Please, take not of the wording JudasIscariot used. I highlighted it for clarity. ;) Other than that, it was sarcasm on my side.
