MX-21 Repository: The wine-staging thread

[wdscharff]

I have been using the 8.0-0 rc3 for a few days and I have windows programmes (jpg-illuminator, noiseware pro, photofiltre) that I use frequently every day, so far without any problems.
But I can't say how it looks with games or whether I'm just "lucky" with my applications.

Wine 8 and DXVK 2.1 is out.

wine-staging_8.0-0rc3 is in test. Last I checked rc5 was available for build and I may be able to get to that tonight.

The stable v8 released today.

I have 1 (one!) windows program that I cannot live without. I haven't found a decent replacement for Xara and I haven't been able to run it via wine, so I'm running it in a Wn10 VM. With every major release my hopes are high :)

works fine with my primary applications.
