Download Wine 7.16

A new development build of Wine has been released with version number 7.16. Wine is an open source implementation of the Windows API and allows you to run DOS and Windows programs on Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris and macOS.

A stable edition is published a few times a year. The database with applications that work under Wine, with or without the help of minor adjustments, contains at the time of writing 28,618 titles, which is nine more than last week. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:
