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.

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

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)"

Dragging a window over another monitor with a different raw DPI is broken, and window dimensions may flicker/break, this will need the winex11 window configure refactoring (ie: !6731 (closed) and the other changes in !6569 (merged)) to be fixed.
I wonder if this will fix Warframe's weird cursor capture issues on KDE Plasma Wayland when you're running a portrait monitor as a secondary monitor and click away then back onto your primary non portrait monitor where you have to really struggle to get the game to capture the cursor again.
