Wine 4.0.3 Released With 54 Bug-fixes
Wine Is Not an Emulator but it does let you run a lot of Windows software on GNU/Linux systems using native API calls. It's not always perfect. Version 4.0.3 fixes 54 bugs one could encounter when running Windows software. Most of the fixes are game or application specific. There's bug fixes for games like Fallout 4, King of Dragon Pass, Hardwood Solitaire and Warframe as well as desktop software like Quickbooks and Adobe InDesign.

Wine 4.0.3 is a stable branch maintenance release. That means no new features in it; the stable branch releases have nothing but bug-fixes in them. There is also a development branch of Wine. A lot of GNU/Linux distributions opt to use that one instead of the somewhat outdated stable series. As an example, Fedora will currently give you Wine 4.20 - released on November 15th. The 4.0.x series doesn't even have multi-monitor support (new to Wine 4.12) so it makes sense that the more bleeding edge distributions opt to package the development branch instead of the "stable" branch.
Those who do use the stable 4.0.x Wine series can enjoy this rather long list of 54 bugs that are no longer present in the shiny new 4.0.3 release:

Wine's homepage is at www.winehq.org and the source for the stable 4.0.x Wine series can be acquired from dl.winehq.org/wine/source/4.0/. Distributions using that branch will typically update to it within a month. You might as well wait for updated distribution packages if you are using this Wine branch since it would make more sense to use the development snapshots if you are able and willing to go through the compilation process. It is a fairly large compile.
