Wine 4.12.1 Released To Fix Broken 64-Bit Support
![WINE](/assets/categories/wine.webp)
Wine 4.12.1 has been warranted due to 64-bit prefix initialization breaking for this release. This regression in Wine 4.12 comes after they began building Wineboot as a PE file.
Due to 64-bit support breaking being a pretty big deal, Wine lead developer Alexandre Julliard decided this 4.12.1 release was warranted. Additionally, Julliard will be taking summer holidays for much of July so it will likely be a quiet next few weeks with likely a delayed Wine 4.13, thus the 4.12.1 release making sense.
Also having landed in Git in time for this Wine 4.12.1 tagging is a fix for Settlers IV History Edition, Alt+Tab switching improvement, and LINE 4.x crashing on start-up.
So Wine 4.12.1 is now available for testing this Sunday for those interested.
