Wine 3.0 Still Expected Around EOY With D3D11; Wayland & D3D12 On Roadmap

[moilami]

Has been a long way since hoping Baldur's Gate II would work with Wine

He said more or less nothing. Work on wayland suport has started and will problably not be finished in 3.0. So ? What does that mean ? Will it take a few months or another 10 years ?
Are problems deemed solvable within winehq or do they need coordination with other projects etc ?

[shmerl]

Great, especially concrete plans for Wayland and DX12 support.

Can someone elaborate on the OpenGL Core context? What do they mean? The video is horrible I can't barely understand Alexandre, the audio is awful.

Any information about Office 365 support? It would be nice to not have to load an entire Windows VM just to run Office.

LibreOffice, while fine for my own personal needs, doesn't cut it for the work I do that involves sharing with other people. It manages to completely garble the formatting of so many presentations and documents it's not even funny. I wouldn't dream of editing something in LibreOffice that was created in MS Office and then sending that edited file back out.

Office runs fine in the web browser nowadays. Why do you need a native application?

Were they just joking about the possibility of dropping macOS support?

Absolutely. Most of Crossover Office sales are for MacOS X.

Whoever recorded and uploaded this video should shoot himself in the head.

Its tradition. Remember project named Wine. There are a lot of conferences for drinking wine that are all done professional style. Looking for the wine project ones look for the one that amateur looking and oddly organised. Most years the videos are not uploaded at all and all you get is transcript notes at best unless you are in the core development team. So this is a case of be grateful for something because normally you would have nothing at this point. Transcripts come out week or 3 after the conference is complete.

I liked the video. I'm grateful for it and also to see Alexandre Julliard in-the-flesh.
