Wine 9.12 Lands Rewrite Of CMD.EXE Engine & Other Improvements

Written by Michael Larabel in WINE on 28 June 2024 at 08:27 PM EDT. 9 Comments

Wine 9.12 is out as the latest bi-weekly development release and in passing roughly the half-way point before Wine 10.0 stable enters the sights for early 2025.

Wine 9.12 introduces a rewrite of the CMD.EXE engine by CodeWeavers to address multiple outstanding bugs for how the prior CMD.EXE implementation had been interpreting commands. The new CMD.EXE implementation appears to be handling more commands properly.

Wine 9.12 also adds initial support for user32 data structures within shared memory, updates against the Mono 9.2 engine, fixes handling of async I/O status in WOW64 mode, and there are 24 known bug fixes. The bug fixes range from window border issues being resolved to problems with Assassin's Creed and other games.

Downloads and more details on the Wine 9.12 changes via WineHQ.org.
