The Wine Project, a compatibility layer renowned for enabling Linux and macOS users to run Windows applications, has officially released version 10.13 as the thirteenth maintenance update to the stable 10.x series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the highlights in this update is the addition of a “Windows.Gaming.Input<\/em>” configuration tab in the Joystick Control Panel, which should give gamers more fine-grained control over their setups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alongside that, Wine now supports ECDSA_P521 and ECDH_P521 cryptographic algorithms within BCrypt, further aligning the compatibility layer with Windows\u2019 own crypto capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Developers will also notice that OpenGL WoW64 thunks are now fully generated, plus work on Windows Runtime metadata handling in WIDL has seen further progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As always, a big part of this release is bug fixing, and Wine 10.13 comes with a list of 32 resolved issues. Among the more notable ones, Microsoft Office 365\u2019s login page now displays correctly, while games such as Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Gothic, Gothic II, Doom 3: BFG Edition, Bejeweled 3, and Nioh 2 received patches for crashes, black screens, or missing sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Music producers also benefit, as some problematic VST plugins should now load properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the technical side, issues were ironed out in areas like color depth handling for BMP images, socket errors in Winsock, regressions in app launch paths, and OpenGL-related glitches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information, visit the announcement<\/a>. Wine 10.13\u2019s source code can be downloaded from\u00a0GitLab\u2019s project page<\/a>\u00a0for those interested in trying out or upgrading their current installation.
