Wine 9.16 Debuts with Initial Driver Store Implementation
Two weeks after its previous 9.15 release, the Wine Project, renowned for enabling Linux and macOS users to run Windows applications, announced the release of the brand-new Wine 9.16. Here are the release’s key updates.
The standout feature is the initial implementation of the Driver Store. Haven’t you heard about it? It is a trusted collection of driver files on a Windows operating system. When a new hardware device is connected to a computer, Windows looks into this store to find and install an appropriate driver for that hardware.
Additionally, there’s good news for users who leverage the Wayland driver, as it now includes support for Pbuffer. This addition is crucial for graphics-related applications and tasks, ensuring smoother rendering and performance improvements across various applications.
