Wine 3.0 Released With Initial Direct3D 11 Support, D3D Command Stream

The Wine camp has officially released Wine 3.0 as their annual feature update to this program for running Windows games/applications on Linux and other operating systems.

Wine 3.0 features initial support for Direct3D 10/11 games (although many D3D11 games are still a work-in-progress on Wine), support for the Direct3D Command Stream to improve performance of D3D titles, Android improvements, better Direct2D and DirectWrite, HiDIPI improvements, many bug fixes, better Unicode support, and many other features to Wine 3.0.

The brief release announcement for today's Wine 3.0.0 debut can be found at WineHQ.org.
