Juicy like the good stuff, Wine 4.0 RC7 is out with a delightful aroma

No need to worry about a sour aftertaste here, we're of course talking about the wonderful software and not the tasty liquid.

As usual, they're in bug-fix mode while they attempt to make the best version of Wine they can and so no super huge features made it in.

They noted 13 bug fixes this time:

  20728  Multiple video players crash when opening audio or video file (MPC-HC v1.6.5, PotPlayer 1.5.x)(FilterGraph_create releases/destroys controlling IUnknown)
  26369  A.R.E.S. Extinction Agenda 1.x (.NET 2.0, XNA 3.1 game) crashes during intro ('quartz' FilterGraph2_Connect must translate HRESULT of failures more correctly)
  29461  BurnPlot (VB6 app) fails to start, complaining with "Run-time error '438'" (WshShell3 'SpecialFolders' collection 'item' method invocation fails)
  34884  Touhou Danmakufu 0.12m's font becomes distorted
  35573  gdi32:fonts test_stock_fonts() fails on Windows 7 in the Japanese and Hebrew locales
  36082  Cannot Read Text In "Question" Boxes On Microsoft Money 2005 Installation

  46480  Invalid write of size 2 in ntoskrnl.exe/tests/ntoskrnl.c

I imagine when 4.0 is out and final, Steam Play will see an update to it. We haven't seen a Steam Play update since 3.16-6 in December about a month ago now. It might be a good idea to wait, to get all the fixes they can and then rebase onto a stable and modern version of Wine.

What? Were you expecting a pun? Wine not! I'm corked after a long day.
