Bottles has released version 52.1, which brings several useful changes. A key feature allows users to run scripts before launching programs in their Wine containers, making setup tasks easier. The update also includes improved playtime tracking thanks to an upgraded backend system, as well as better integration with the app's other features. Additionally, the release fixes common bugs, such as dedicated sandboxed apps not launching properly and crashes during "bottle" creation setup.

There's also more playtime tracking now, thanks partly to an upgraded backend system managing the actual time recording. We've made sure it integrates smoothly with the rest of the app.

But this release isn't just about new things; there were bugs fixed too. A common one was that dedicated sandboxed apps wouldn't always launch properly, which now is addressed. Also, anyone trying to create a 'bottle' might have run into crashes during setup, and those instances are closed up tight.

And for everyone else using different languages on this platform, there's been an update to the translation files. So overall, it feels like a solid release with practical upgrades and stability fixes.
