On March 11, the team of developers behind this software to run Windows apps on other operating systems He launched v7.4 of your “emulator”. Today, two weeks later, it was time for a new development version, specifically WINE 7.5, and the launch has produced a few moments ago. A lot of little tweaks have been reintroduced, but the dev who was doing the most in the last few weeks has hit the brakes a bit, so the overall number is lower.

In total, 7.5 bugs have been fixed in WINE 28, but new bugs have been introduced. a total of 360 changes. 360 is a lot, it is within the average or even raises it a little, but coming from weeks in which we rose from 600, less than 400 already seems few. And it is that Eric Pouech, who in other weeks has delivered hundreds of modifications, this week has made "only", see the quotes, 57.

WINE 7.5 highlights

This Friday, what WineHQ has highlighted above the rest is that the ALSA driver has been converted to PE, the language database has been generated from Unicode CLDR, support for the HLSL compiler with built-in vkd3d has been added, support for the OCSP protocol has been started, and more cleanup has been done to “long” type support, to which must be added the various bug fixes.

WINE 7.5 available from  this link , and WineHQ also provides another that, not to change, does not work. 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 7.6 coming on April 8. After the weeks of more than 600 changes and having dropped below 400 today, it is expected that in two weeks it will be normal again, that is, that they make between 200 and 400 touch-ups. Unless Pouech gets his act together again and does his thing, in which case we could once again have scandalous figures.
