Wine 10.15 Released with Unicode 17 Support

The Wine Project, a compatibility layer renowned for enabling Linux and macOS users to run Windows applications, has officially released version 10.15 as the fifteenth maintenance update to the stable 10.x series.

One of the main highlights is that Wine’s Unicode character tables have been updated to version 17.0.0, keeping it in line with the latest Unicode standard. On top of that, packaging services now support Zip64, which helps when dealing with larger archives.

As usual, the release also comes with bug fixes—16 in total. Some of these address long-standing issues, such as Steam failing to launch, Sims 2 black-screen problems when using older Nvidia drivers, and crashes in CapCut.
