As expected, another Wine 3.0 release candidate is available today with RC4 bringing in more bug fixes.
Since they are currently in a code-freeze, they're focusing solely on making Wine 3.0 a solid experience so no new features are currently making their way in.
For this release, they noted 12 bugs fixed. Nothing truly eye-opening here, but here's what they noted:
- 13355 Richedit very slowly open big text files
- 16505 BBC iPlayer Desktop: .desktop file confuses comments with command line
- 26851 Zoo Tycoon 2: Marine Mania demo installer fails
- 33722 Stereo IMA ADPCM encoding in WINE produces loud static instead of sound
- 34255 WinPolis 3.x: "Buy CDs" editbox does not automatically select all
- 37336 U-blox U-Center 8.11 crashes when importing or exporting config file
- 41070 "Call of Duty 4" does not start: heap issues
- 41209 The Magic School Bus Explores the Solar System: Error message asking for the game to be reinstalled
- 43971 Wine 2.20 Bcrypt compilation fails under older linux systems while Wine 2.0.3 compiles fine
- 44142 steamwebhelper.exe crashes on wine-stagining 2.21 because NtQueryInformationFile fails
- 44161 Possible incorrect string message in "dlls/kernel32/tests/volume.c" line 263
- 44218 Black displaying of all Wine stuffs with FreeBSD

I've come across an unusually high number of bug reports concerning audio.
Some games are without sound. Some have choppy or crackling sound. I have
personally tested a couple of dx11 games that would have been given a platinum
rating if not for the audio difficulties. This wine subsystem needs fixing
before the 3.0 release.

I'm still on 2.21 and waiting for the fix to run Final Fantasy IX normally. It worked just fine till 2.20 and now doesn't even start xD

Since I didn't buy any Windows-only games for some time (except when cheated by the developers) my stash of older Windows-only games (among them Fallout 4 and the Witcher 3) slowly starts getting supported by wine. Nice.
But for some reason, the wine-party haven't managed to package the last 3 rc-releases for Debian, whereas they usually did within 2 days.
