Wine 11.12 adds Wayland fractional scaling, bundled FFmpeg libraries, and Mono engine 11.2

Wine 11.12 has been released, offering an updated open source compatibility layer for running Windows applications and games on Linux, macOS, and BSD. This version places a strong emphasis on improving display experiences, as it features new Wayland fractional scaling support. Users can now enjoy more precise UI scaling and assign different fractional scales for each display, which is particularly valuable for high-resolution or mixed-density monitor setups.

Following these changes, the update bundles the libswresample and libswscale libraries from FFmpeg, which benefits multimedia applications relying on audio and video processing. Additionally, the Mono engine receives an upgrade to version 11.2.0, while the XSLPattern parser in MSXML has been reimplemented, further extending support for applications that depend on XML processing.

Alongside these improvements, Wine 11.12 resolves 27 bugs that impact various widely-used software and games. Fixes target compatibility and reliability for titles such as LTspice, .NET 3.5 Framework, Microsoft Money, Taskkill, Avogadro, Need for Speed Most Wanted, Greenshot, Super Hexagon, Sonic Boom, ComicRackCE, and Microsoft Office 2007.
