Get ready for a busy weekend testing as Wine 6.9 is out now - nice

The latest and greatest from the Wine hackers is out now with the nice Wine 6.9 development release going out.

For newer readers and Linux users here's a refresher - Wine is a compatibility layer built for operating systems like Linux, macOS and BSD. The idea is to allow other platforms to run games and applications only built and supported for Windows. It's also part of what makes up Steam Play Proton. Once a year or so, a new stable release is made.

What's new?

• WPCAP library converted to PE.
• Support for paper forms in the print spooler.
• More math functions from Musl in the C runtime.

Along with that they noted 25 bug fixes. As per usual: some are bugs being fixed now, some were fixed a while ago and recently got noticed as actually being sorted. Some of the improved items include: TroopMaster, Touhou Danmakufu 0.12m, Overwatch, Elgato Stream Deck, The Sims 2 and more.
