Download Wine 8.5

A new development build of Wine has been released with version number 8.5. 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 large group of developers contribute to Wine and it has been decided to release a new so-called development version every two weeks instead of waiting until a number of new features are ready. 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 28,886 titles at the time of writing, which is four more than two weeks ago. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

What’s new in this release:

• Bundled vkd3d upgraded to version 1.7.
• Better error reporting in the IDL compiler.
• Support for shared Wow64 Classes registry key.
• More cleanups in IME support.
