  • Support for generating executable files in the format has been added to the assembly system ARM64X, containing both code for the Arm64EC and ARM64 ABIs. Added “-marm64x” option to winebuild to generate ARM64X hybrid libraries, and “-marm64x” option to winegcc to enable building for ARM64X.
  • Expanded ABI support ARM64EC (ARM64 Emulation Compatible), used to simplify the porting of applications originally written for the x86_64 architecture to ARM64 systems. ARM64EC allows you to run individual modules with x86_64 code in the ARM64 environment using an emulator.
  • The driver interface for the Vulkan graphics API has been restructured.
  • Support for the ARM architecture and type library (TypeLib) in the old format (SLTG) has been added to the WIDL (Wine Interface Definition Language) interpreter.
  • Error reports related to the operation of the games have been closed: Command and Conquer RA II, Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun, Oregon Trail II, Medieval II Total War, Totem Arts Launcher.
  • Closed error reports related to the operation of applications: MSYS2, ProcessHacker 2.x, Clang 6.0, Notepad++, explorer.exe, Geovision Parashara's Light, Advanced IP Scanner, Mspaint, ON1 Raw Photo Editor, HP System Diagnostics.
