Wine 11.1 Released In Kicking Off The New Development Cycle

Written by Michael Larabel in WINE on 23 January 2026 at 04:12 PM EST. 5 Comments
Following the release of Wine 11.0 stable just under two weeks ago, Wine 11.1 is now available as the first of the bi-weekly development snapshots for Wine in leading toward the Wine 12.0 release next January.

With Wine 11.1 there are a lot of patches that were merged during the time from early December to mid-January when the Wine Git codebase was under a feature freeze as the 11.0 release candidates worked their way out and culminated with the Wine 11.0 stable release.

So there is a lot of patch activity in this release due to those deferred changes during the code freeze. Some of the items standing out include more pixel format conversion work in WindowsCodecs, more work on ActiveX Data Objects "MSADO", and then various bug fixes.

There are 22 known bug fixes in Wine 11.1 ranging from addressing issues in Apple iTunes to GOG Galaxy to Microsoft Edge. Downloads and more details on the Wine 11.1 release via WineHQ.org.
