Another biweekly release of the Windows compatibility layer Wine is out now! Wine 9.20 brings the usual assortment of new features and bug fixes.

Reminder: Wine is a huge part of what makes Valve's Proton able to do its thing so you can play lots of games on Linux Desktop and Steam Deck.

The highlights of this release include:

Bundled Capstone library for disassembly in WineDbg.
More formats supported in D3DX9.
Static analysis and JUnit test reports in Gitlab CI.
More support for network sessions in DirectPlay.
Various bug fixes.

15 bugs were noted as solved including issues for Victoria 2, Just Cause, BeamNG.drive, Wargaming.net games and more in the release notes.
