Wine 3.6 is now officially available with some new features and a healthy dose of bug fixes to keep Wine users happy.
In terms of feature highlights, here's what's in:
- Support for PNG format icons.
- Support for 1D textures.
- More infrastructure for high DPI support.
- OLE data cache improvements.
This time around, it seems quite a few bugs were noted as fixed, 53 in fact. Some notable bugs that got fixed were seven specific to BattlEye, along with multiple games requiring a "d3d11_device_CreateTexture1D" implementation (Need For Speed: The Run, Sniper Elite V2, Overwatch, Battlefield 3), along with fixes for Cuphead and plenty more. As a reminder though, not all noted bugs were specifically fixed in this release, some were fixed earlier and only updated now.
Quite an exciting release in terms of bug fixes there.

@WineDevs -- if anyone is reading -- you guys are doing amazing!
One of the more anticipated features you guys could work on for me would be mainlining GTK3 support from wine-staging.
Keep up the amazing work, you guys are paving the way along with MESA, Gnome, KDE and all the other big teams working hard toward a common future. Great work! :)
