Wine Staging is where you may try out new features that have not made it into the main development branch of winehq.org just yet. Developers will be able to review and refine their patches before merging them into the main branch, and users will have quicker access to these enhancements. Updates to odbccp32-SQLWritePrivateProfileStringW, oledb32-mode-property, vkd3d-latest, odbc-remove-unixodbc, and shell32-IconCache are included in the change log.
What is Wine Staging?
Wine Staging is the testing area of winehq.org. It contains bug fixes and features, which have not been integrated into the development branch yet. The idea of Wine Staging is to provide experimental features faster to end users and to give developers the possibility to discuss and improve their patches before they are integrated into the main branch. More information about Wine Staging can also be found on our website wine-staging.com.
