Wine 10.11 released with NTSync groundwork, WIDL upgrades, and numerous bug fixes

Wine 10.11 arrives just two weeks after version 10.10, continuing the rapid update pace for this established compatibility layer letting users run Windows games and programs on macOS, Linux, and BSD. This release brings initial steps toward NTSync support, with developers laying the groundwork for improved threading and synchronization that will benefit future versions.

Alongside these backend preparations, the update enhances the Windows Interface Definition Language (WIDL) tool. It now more broadly supports generating Windows Runtime metadata, helping developers and power users target a wider range of modern Windows APIs.

Addressing compatibility from another angle, Wine 10.11 resolves numerous bugs affecting both music production and gaming. The update brings fixes for VST instruments in Mixcraft and addresses issues in several notable games, including Fallout 3, Diggles: The Myth of Fenris, Genshin Impact, Magic The Gathering Arena, Doom I & II Enhanced, Thief II, and more.
