Following the recent Wine 9.0 stable release earlier this month, Wine 9.1 is now available as the first bi-weekly development release in the new series that will ultimately culminate with the Wine 10.0 stable release in early 2025.

Wine 9.1 is out with the first round of new feature patches since Wine 9.0 entered its code freeze in early December following the 2+ dozen Wine 8.xx development releases over the course of last year.

With Wine 9.1 just kicking things off it's a bit light on the changes. The noted new material in Wine 9.1 are Input Method improvements, better Diffie-Hellman key support, better Dvorak keyboard detection, and the usual assortment of bug fixes.
