The latest bi-weekly Wine development release is now out there and it features quite a lot of changes, although some of the big ticket items like Direct3D 10/11 and D3D command stream remain out of sight.

Wine 1.7.31 was announced today and it features a new Gecko web layout engine based on Firefox 34 and it also features support for the Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 version of the C/C++ run-times.

Wine 1.7.31 additionally adds more font metrics support in DirectWrite and support for more Direct2D work.

Beyond these prominent changes there's 51 known bug-fixes in this new Wine development build. Find out more about the changes at WineHQ.org.
