Wine Staging 2.19 has been officially announced today, although it seems like a quieter release compared to the past releases.
Here's whats new:
- Support for depth bias clamping in d3d11.
- Support for verifying RSA signatures using bcrypt.
- Various bug fixes and improvements.
They don't note anything else, apart from the stuff pulled in from the main Wine development builds.
It's likely some of the main contributors had a little break, or some other features are taking longer. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a little break, as they've been knocking out code fast and Wine has come along incredibly in the last year.

Ok, I have a question. Since I am returning to Ubuntu after about 8-9 years, I feel like a little noob atm. How can I install Wine staging? They don't seem to have an official repo for 17.10?
(Sorry if it is obvious, but Manjaro and AUR made me a little lazy.)
Thanks!
I don't use Ubuntu but I guess this should do https://wine-staging.com/installation.html#distro_ubuntu

I personally abuse PlayOnLinux to install various wine versions if I feel like testing something. I don't generally use the install scripts though.

This is what I tried, but when I wanted to updated sources.list, I got this message:
"E: The repository 'https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu artful Release' does not have a Release file."
I checked the url, and they don't have a repo for this version.
They haven't added an artful build to their repo yet, but the zesty version works fine for me. Just edit your sources.list file and change artful to zesty on the wine entry.
Change this
deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ artful main #WineHQinto this
deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ zesty main #WineHQDon't forget to change it back to artful once they add that to their repo.

In this version, Batman: Arkham Knight launches in-game. It's just as glitchy as The Witcher 3 was 6 months ago but it now runs!

Current Wine master has some breaking changes that will require refactoring for Wine staging. For instance for interpolation modifiers patch.

Anyone managed to install the 32bit version via PlayOnLinux? It works for 64bit, but for 32bit it complaints that the file could not be found, even though it shows up in the selection just fine.

Not that I'm using it, but I've seen PPA's for it on Launchpad.

Just installed and tried Witcher 3 on 2.19-staging.
It installed and started fine. After all the initial cutscenes when you finally get control over Geralt, I noticed there was a vertical plane with a grass texture through the middle of the room between Geralt and Yenn. Tried walking through the plane but then the game crashed.
Anyone know a workaround for that?
Edit: Nevermind. It works better now that I progressed past the first area.

I do the same, find it very useful; for managing different Wine versons needed for various games.

Lately I wrote a few scripts, which manage Wine prefixes and allow using different Wine versions. Kind of what PlayOnLinux does, but just in shell. And winetricks can be used in combination with that to install extra components. POL looks stalled if not dead project, so that prompted me to make something custom. Though I usually make a launcher script for each title semi-manually.

Well? For a "dead" project PlayOnLinux releases even continous new versions of WINE, static built. But hey, the "dead" seems to live longer?

When was the last time the code itself updated? It's using GTK2, and seems to be frozen. Their effort to rewrite it in Qt is stalled as well I think. Forums are mostly deserted. I suspect the development has ceased altogether.

There's at least some activity in the repo for POL 5: https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/POL-POM-5Well? For a "dead" project PlayOnLinux releases even continous new versions of WINE, static built. But hey, the "dead" seems to live longer?
