The first release candidate for Wine Staging 11.0 has been released, featuring a carefully curated collection of new features and fixes tested by the winehq.org team.

Wine Staging 11.0 Release Candidate 1 released

The first release candidate for Wine Staging 11.0 is here. This release candidate is more than just a random assortment of changes; consider it a meticulously crafted compilation of features and fixes, thoroughly tested by the winehq.org team.

Wine Staging's main gig is basically acting as a testing ground, like an early preview area separate from the regular development work. It lets users jump right in and try new things as soon as they appear, offering fresh perspectives to help developers catch issues before the official launch.

This latest build sits right on top of Wine 11.0-rc1, with vkd3d-latest updated, a key part that's been honed through user testing and developer tweaks. Now that this RC is out in the open for everyone to see, you can start putting it through its paces, giving us critical feedback that will really shape up the final version.

Wine Staging 11.0-rc1 is ready for download. You also find the source code of this release on GitHub.
