Wine 11.11 Released With Wayland Improvements
Alexandre Julliard just released Wine 11.11 as the newest bi-weekly development release of this open-source software that powers Valve's Steam Play (Proton) and allows for running Windows games and applications under Linux as well as other platforms.
Wine 11.11 brings layered windows support in its Wayland driver. The Wine Wayland driver now implements min/max size hints for non-resizable windows, treats maximized+full-screen state as full-screen, and layered window handling as part of the newly-merged Wayland alpha modifier support with the alpha-modifier-v1 protocol. Nice to see the Wine Wayland driver continuing to mature and hopefully will be at parity to the X11 driver by the time of Wine 12.0 stable in early 2027.
Wine 11.11 also now bundles the SymCrypt library as a replacement to TomCrypt. More USER32 window information code is also now moved to shared memory and there are various VBScript compatibility improvements.
A total of 25 known bug fixes have been fixed over the past two weeks ranging from a MS Money 2000 fix to adjustments for Marvel's Spinder-Man Remastered, Total War: Shogun 2, and Battle.Net fixes. Yes, fixes for Microsoft Money 2000 and surprisingly from a bug report just a few months old.
