WINE 7.0-rc4 comes with 38 patches, among which there are some that improve the gaming experience

WINE 7.0-rc4

The same day as last week, also on Sunday since Friday was New Year's Eve, WineHQ has just launched WINE 7.0-rc4. This is the fourth Release Candidate of the seventh major update of the software to run Windows apps on other operating systems and, although the software continues to be polished, it does not include as many changes as when a development version is released every fortnight.

WINE 7.0-rc4 fixes 38 bugs and a total of 42 changes. In rc3 they were introduced just 20 more, and this reduction in the number of modifications may have to do with the fact that less and less remains to be polished. Regarding notable changes, WineHQ does not mention anything, beyond remembering that we have already entered the code freeze, so no new functions are added; only fixes are included.

In WINE 7.0-rc4 some fixes for games are added

The development version Wine 7.0-rc4 is now available.

What's new in this version (see below for details):
- Only bug fixes, we are in the freeze of the code.

WINE 7.0-rc4 is the fourth Release Candidate of the next version coming soon, but it is not known exactly when. Now available for download from this and this other link, although the second does not usually work until after a few hours (or days). It can also be downloaded from the project download pages, where there are also instructions to add the official repository to distributions like Ubuntu.

WINE 7.0-rc5 is expected to arrive next week and they will return to Friday releases. As for when the stable version will arrive, the only thing we can say is that WINE 6.0 arrived after six Release Candidates, so WINE 7.0 It could arrive on January 14 or 21. After that they will return to the biweekly launches and will begin to prepare the WINE 8.0 that will arrive in 2023.
