Wine 11 finally fixes one of the biggest problems with running old Windows apps
Wine, short for Wine Is Not an Emulator, is a long-running compatibility layer that lets Windows software run on POSIX systems by translating Windows API calls directly into native ones. The latest stable release, Wine 11.0, completes another year of development with thousands of changes aimed at performance, graphics handling, and long-term compatibility.
Wine 11.0 rounds off a full development cycle with roughly 6,300 individual changes and more than 600 bug fixes. This release includes two key changes. One is support for the ntsync kernel module on Linux, and the other is the completion of the newer WoW64 architecture, which changes how 32-bit Windows applications run on 64-bit systems.
