The Wine team have no time for hangovers, as work continues on towards the next major release with the Wine 4.8 development release now available.

What's new and improved with this latest tasty release:

  • Support building most programs in PE format.
  • Unicode data updated to Unicode 12.0.
  • Support for MSI patch files.
  • Default to non-PIC builds on i386.
  • Joystick support improvements.
  • Asturian locale.
  • Various bug fixes.

This time around a total of 38 grapes bugs have been squashed. Usual notice applies: some are older bugs being re-tested and fixed in a prior release. Looking over it issues have been solved with Star Citizen, World of Warships, Warframe, Test Drive Unlimited, Grand Prix Legends and more.

Vodka too. It's 40% (degrees) alcohol and 60% water. Here in Russia we call % of alcohol a degree.

I know, in Spain it's also said that way, but what I mean is that 40% alcohol from grapes is Pisco, not vodka :)

Fixes the regression in 4.5 that stopped Origin working for anyone that wants to play EA games.

( Widely vilified, I know, but I always rather liked Bioware games, even if each new title is less appealing as time goes on: they wouldn't be alone there ).
