Written by Michael Larabel in WINE on 19 April 2016 at 08:05 AM EDT. 1 Comment

Adding in more experimental patches over last week's Wine 1.9.8 development release is the routine Wine-Staging update.

Wine-Staging 1.9.8 is carrying more patches to improve support for running 64-bit Windows software -- particularly on OS X, there is improved compatibility with MSYS2, and a variety of other improvements that are ready in the Wine-Staging realm but not yet ready to be mainlined in Wine.

More details on Wine-Staging 1.9.8 can be found via Wine-Staging.com.
