The development release Wine 10.19 is out now for the compatibility layer that powers Valve's Proton, here's all that's new and improved. Early next year we should see Wine 11, and then at some point Proton 11 too!

From the highlights:

Support for reparse points.

  • More support for WinRT exceptions.
  • Refactoring of Common Controls after the v5/v6 split.
  • Typed Arrays support in JScript.
  • Various bug fixes.

I’ve already noticed having an easier time running old Windows games under Wine than on Windows natively— a handful of years ago, I found the disc for Tomb Raider Gold, but it was having me install a bunch of “missing Windows features”, and I never did get it to run. Tried recently on my 2013-era laptop and, beyond needing to invoke Wine on the executable, it played right away!
