Wine 9.12 Lands Rewrite Of CMD.EXE Engine & Other Improvements

([WINE] 4 Hours Ago Wine 9.12)


Wine 9.12 is out as the latest bi-weekly development release and in passing roughly the half-way point before Wine 10.0 stable enters the sights for early 2025.

Wine 9.12 introduces a rewrite of the CMD.EXE engine by CodeWeavers to address multiple outstanding bugs for how the prior CMD.EXE implementation had been interpreting commands. The new CMD.EXE implementation appears to be handling more commands properly.

Wine 9.12 also adds initial support for user32 data structures within shared memory, updates against the Mono 9.2 engine, fixes handling of async I/O status in WOW64 mode, and there are 24 known bug fixes. The bug fixes range from window border issues being resolved to problems with Assassin's Creed and other games.

A little dog goes into a saloon in the Wild West, and beckons to
the bartender. "Hey, bartender, gimme a whiskey."
The bartender ignores him.
"Hey bartender, gimme a whiskey!"
Still ignored.
"HEY BARMAN!! GIMME A WHISKEY!!"
The bartender takes out his six-shooter and shoots the dog in the
leg, and the dog runs out the saloon, howling in pain.
Three years later, the wee dog appears again, wearing boots,
jeans, chaps, a Stetson, gun belt, and guns. He ambles slowly into the
saloon, goes up to the bar, leans over it, and says to the bartender,
"I'm here t'git the man that shot muh paw."
