This isn't in reference to the lovely fruity stuff, we are of course talking about the Wine compatibility software. The Wine team have been hacking away at their code again, with a brand new release now available with Wine 4.13.

Quite a small one in terms of features included in this round, partly as Wine developer Alexandre Julliard had a vacation recently. I expect things to pick up again now.

Some highlights from this release:

  • Support for Passport HTTP redirects.
  • A bunch of header updates.
  • Various bug fixes.

As for bug fixes, this time around 15 were noted including issues solved with: A.R.E.S. Extinction Agenda, Final Fantasy XIV, an issue affecting multiple D3D11 games and more. Usual note though, often bug reports noted as fixed were actually solved in a previous release that are just now being closed.

See the full release notes here.

I'm also running alarmingly low on puns. Complaints? Pun suggestions? [email protected].

"Not The Wine O'Clock News"... I had to laugh. Then go watch an hour or two of the ultimate classic British comedy. Solid. Fucking. Gold.

Frankly I switched to Linux for Liam's Wine puns.

I like that one, but I have to say I'm more of a Black Adder man.

Quoting: chancho_zombieDid anyone realize that proton is actually a wine container?? it actually is a crate of wine.
Hmmm, yeah, instead of "Proton" they should have called it "Amphora" or something.

I cannot update wine-staging from 4.12.1 to 4.13 for some reason. In GUI update manager I see a checkbox with Wine, but it can't be ticked. 'apt list -u' shows available updates as well, but 'sudo apt upgrade' says winehq-staging wil stay unamended.
