Wine 9.22 released noting the 'Wayland driver enabled in default configuration'

By Liam Dawe - 23 November 2024 at 5:14 pm UTC

Closing in on the Wine 10 stable release now! Wine 9.22 has been released, ahead of the first release candidate for Wine 10 in two weeks time. The Wine 10 release itself is due for sometime around mid-January.

From the release notes the highlights are:

Support for display mode virtualization.

Locale data updated to Unicode CLDR 46.

More support for network sessions in DirectPlay.

Wayland driver enabled in default configuration.

Going by the GitLab, it seems Wayland is only currently used when x11 fails. So it's enabled, but not the default go-to, likely as more Wayland work still needs to be done.

There's also bug fixes noted for Dark Souls Remastered, World Of Warcraft and Steam. Plus a few other miscellaneous behaviour fixes.

Quoting: WMan22What do they mean by "Support for Display Mode Virtualization", is gamescope built into wine now or something?

I think it's this merge:

"[I]mplementation of display setting virtualization using DPI scaling, ie: Proton fshack done right.

There's various things to tweak still, and this will stay as an experimental feature with X11 (Wayland actually needs it to implement display mode change so it's as experimental as the driver)"
