Download Wine 5.20

A new development build of Wine has been released with version number 5.20. 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 contributes to Wine and it has been decided to release a new so-called development version every two weeks instead of waiting for a number of new functions to be ready. A stable release is published a few times a year. The database of applications that work under Wine, with or without minor adjustments, contains 27,496 titles at the time of writing. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

What’s new in this release:

• More work on the DSS cryptographic provider.
