- Accessibility support in the SysLink control.
- More progress on the Bluetooth driver.
There's also bug fixes for Battle.net, Steam, Need for Speed: Shift, Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath, Europa Universalis 4 Golden Century, ShaderMap 4.x, Chessbase, Zenless Zone Zero, Myst, iTunes, Firefox and more.

Since Valve's Proton is built from Wine, to preempt the question — no, we don't know exactly when Proton 10 will release after rebasing onto Wine 10. Proton 8 was released in April 2023, Proton 9 got a Beta in late April 2024 with a release in May, so it's probably not likely until sometime around April / May.

Can someone explain what kind of real life changes these bluetooth improvements in wine can bring? I thought bluetooth in wine was completely handled by Linux itself.

It's not enough to have a working Linux bluetooth stack. Windows software doesn't know how to access that stack, so Wine needs to provide wrappers or shims that look exactly like the Windows BT APIs. I've never used any Windows software that needs these APIs so I don't know how well it works currently, but based on the changelog it seems like some functionality was outright missing:
winebth.sys: Remove the first 2 zero bytes after byte-swapping Bluetooth addresses.
winebth.sys: Implement IOCTL_WINEBTH_RADIO_START_DISCOVERY.
winebth.sys: Implement IOCTL_WINEBTH_RADIO_STOP_DISCOVERY.
bluetoothapis: Implement BluetoothFindFirstDevice and BluetoothFindDeviceClose.
bluetoothapis/tests: Add tests for BluetoothFindFirstDevice, BluetoothFindDeviceClose.
bluetoothapis: Implement BluetoothFindNextDevice.
bluetoothapis/tests: Add tests for BluetoothFindNextDevice.
bluetoothapis/tests: Use the correct file name while skipping tests when no radios are found.
bluetoothapis: Add a basic implementation for BluetoothGetDeviceInfo.
bluetoothapis/tests: Add tests for BluetoothGetDeviceInfo.
