There were, as usual, a of work beyond pure box-fixes done since the last release.
Henri Verbeet did some more work on the wined3d Vulkan adapter for Direct3D 9-11. You can enable it and test it by creating a new string called renderer in ▸ ▸ ▸ in the wine redgedit.exe settings. That string could be gl or, if you want lots of crashes, vulkan. You should absolutely not do that at this time, most programs won't work with it. The newly released DXVK 1.7.2 Direct3D 9-11 to Vulkan translation layer works much better. Henri Verbeet was also responsible for adding some headers from the newly releases Vkd3d 1.2 Direct3D 12 to Vulkan translation layer to Wine's source tree.
The High-Scores[edit]
Michael Stefaniuc won this Wine version round with a total of 80 commits. 99% of them are very minor "Use wide-char string literals" changes. The rest of the Wine players with a commit core above 10 are all employed by the Codeweavers corporation. Every single one. That doesn't mean that Wine is entirely made by the Codeweavers corporation. 35 people contributed less than 10 commits to this release and some of those do not work for them (though almost half do).
