Download Wine 8.3

A new development build of Wine has been released with version number 8.3. 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 at the time of writing 28,827 titles, which is seven more than last week. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

What’s new in this release:

• Support for the Low Fragmentation Heap.
• Smart card support using PCSC-Lite.
• Bundled Zydis library for more correct disassembly.
