Among the work in v5.20is continuing the implementation of the DSS crypto provider, fixes for windowless RichEdit handling, support for FLS callbacks, window resizing support in the new console host, and bug fixes. The FLS callbacks are notable for fixing .NET CoreRT crashes and other potential uses.

There are 36 known bug-fixes for Wine 5.20 including mouse input fixes for multiple games, FreeBSD 12.1 crashing on start-up with Wine, and other software-specific fixes.
