WINE 5.12 adds support for the WebSocket API and introduces more than 300 changes

WINE 5.12

Today is the 4th of July, if not the biggest holiday, one of the biggest holidays in America, but that hasn't changed the biweekly plans of software developers to "no emulate" Windows applications on other operating systems and we already have available WINE 5.12. As with every new release, this version includes many changes, many of them being corrections to improve the compatibility and reliability of the software.

In what is surely just an anecdote and has nothing to do with the US national holiday, this week they have included one less in their list of most outstanding novelties than in previous weeks (such as this). Regarding corrections, they have introduced a total of 48, but they have also made a total of 337 changes. What you have below is the small list of news that WineHQ considers the most important that has come along with WINE 5.12.

WINE 5.12 highlights

  • NTDLL converted to PE format.
  • Support for the WebSocket API.
  • Improved RawInput support.
  • Vulkan specification update.
  • Various bug fixes.

Interested users can now install WINE 5.12 from its source code, available in this y this other link, or from binaries that can be downloaded from here. In the link from where we can download the binaries there is also information to add the official project repository to receive this and other future updates as soon as they are ready for systems such as Ubuntu / Debian or Fedora, but also for Android and macOS.

Yes, as before, there are no surprises, the next version will be WINE 5.13. The next friday, july 17 And, since this time they have not included an implementation or initial support for a component among their most outstanding novelties, we cannot assure what novelties it will bring, but we can assure that it will arrive with hundreds of changes to improve the support, reliability and performance of the software.

    Please avoid using the concept "no emulator" in your article or post regarding WineHQ, although the negative is clear in "no", most users will remember the word "emulator" and repeat that error. Wine or WIneHQ is a reimplementation layer of graphical interface (binary) with compatibility, this is how your website defines it, it is long but it is true ... Users have spread a lot that wine is an emulator for a decade wrongly. Please replace that section of your post, it will help us all.
