Below is the full DXVK 1.9.2 change-log.

It will be interesting to see how DXVK and Proton development heats up in Q4 as the release of Valve's Steam Deck approaches at the end of the year with a goal of getting as many Windows games as possible running nicely out-of-the-box on Linux.
DXVK 1.9.2 should turn up in the next Proton update while those building it from source can grab today's new release on GitHub.
