WINE 7.14 arrives without major news, and again below 300 changes

WINE 7.14

Punctual like a Swiss watch and like every two weeks, WineHQ launched a few hours ago WINE 7.14. Although some distributions include it in their official repositories, these types of releases are development versions, the most up-to-date stable version being WINE 7.0 (here). The development builds get a lot more updates, and during the year that they're getting things ready for the stable release they may improve something that's worth upgrading for.

As for what has come along with WINE 7.14, we can't say it's the most exciting release in its history. 19 bugs have been fixed, but have been made 260 changes. Once again, the total number of mods has fallen below 300, which is average but on the downside. One reason may be that most of the developers involved in the development of WINE are from a northern hemisphere where it is currently summer.

Highlights of WINE 7.14

In total, WineHQ has highlighted four of the changes, with the usual last point where they always mention "miscellaneous bug fixes": more progress has been made to the syscall interface for USER32, fonts in DirectWrite and added some fixes for socket closures. For users interested in knowing more changes, they are all in the link that we provide at the beginning of this article.

WINE 7.14 available from  this link, and we are going to stop remembering that second link that they used to provide and it never worked. In the download page there is information on how to install this and other versions on operating systems such as Debian and Ubuntu, but it can also be installed on Android and macOS.

The next version will be a WINE 7.15 coming on August 13. If many of your developers are on vacation, it's likely that we'll again have a release that doesn't hit 300 changes.
