Following last month's release of [1]Wine 10.0 as the newest annual stable release of Wine for running Windows games/applications on Linux and other platforms, Wine 10.1 is out today. Wine 10.1 kicks off the bi-weekly development release cycle trek that will culminate with the release of Wine 11.0 next year.

Given that Wine 10.0 had been under a code freeze since early December in going through the release candidate testing and then the actual v10.0 release in mid-January, Wine 10.1 is heavier than usual on the changes. Wine 10.1 is described as having " a wide range of changes that were deferred during code freeze. "

Among the specifics with Wine 10.1 are root certificate fixes for Battle.net, print provider improvements, continued progress on the Bluetooth driver introduced [2]initially added last year , and around 35 known bug fixes.

Wine 10.1 fixes range from sound issues in StarCraft 2 to other audio problems in different software, a Final Fantasy XI Online crash fix, the .NET Framework 4.8 installer hanging, and all sorts of other different bugs are now resolved. There is a Wine Wayland driver change too in Wne 10.1 to round the refresh rate when calculating the Win32 display frequency.
