Wine 10.8 Improves TIFF Support and Shared Memory Handling
The Wine Project, a compatibility layer renowned for enabling Linux and macOS users to run Windows applications, has officially released version 10.8 as the eighth maintenance update to the stable 10.x series.
The new version now keeps user handles in shared memory. That tweak trims the overhead when Windows applications running under Wine need to talk to one another—or the host system—about open files, windows, and other objects. Early testers are already reporting noticeably snappier window creation and faster context switching, especially in GUI-heavy programs.
