Windows compatibility layer Wine 10.0 third Release Candidate out now

With the feature code freeze continuing, the Wine team had put up a third Release Candidate for the upcoming stable main release of Wine 10.0 coming in early 2025. There's no new features since they're focused on bug fixes only right now. New features will return for the development releases following Wine 10.0.

Here's all the bugs noted as solved for Wine 10.0-rc3:

• #11674 Dual-core unsupported in WoW and SC2
• #49473 Chaos Legion videos are played upside down
• #52738 No keyboard input in "STREET CHAVES - O LUTADOR DA VILA"
• #56319 Parallel Port Tester won't start (fails to locate driver "System32\Drivers\inpoutx64.sys", but changing to absolute path works)
• #56348 Bricks: moving a brick causes it to rapidly alternate positions
• #56471 starting of native program with "start /unix ..." is broken
• #56632 Explorer cannot run any files in Windows ME compatibility mode (or below)
• #56714 Startopia is stuck on a black screen on launch
• #57227 IL-2 1946 crash at startup
• #57286 Dark Age of Camelot - camelot.exe required igd10umd32.dll but the .dll file is not found.
• #57319 Painting in a proprietary application is broken with vulkan renderer
• #57515 desktop mode did not show taskbar anymore
• #57523 PokerTracker 4: cannot launch anymore
• #57525 Systray icons cannot be interacted with
• #57541 CMake doesn't find toolchain

Taken from the release notes.

At some point after the release of Wine 10.0 we'll see Valve and their partners at Codeweavers update Proton and we'll then see a Proton 10.0 release as well. We don't know exactly when that will happen though, for the Wine 9 to Proton 9 release, it took about a month and a half to arrive.
