Coming about two weeks after the release of Wine 2.8, which improved support for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III that'll be ported to Linux and SteamOS platforms by Feral Interactive on June 8, Wine 2.9 is here to introduce support for tesselation shaders in Direct3D, binary mode support in WebServices, RegEdit UI improvements, and clipboard changes detected through Xfixes. However, as with any new Wine release, numerous apps and games received improvements. Among the Windows games that have been improved in Wine 2.9, we can mention The Witcher 3, Need for Speed: The Run, Grandia II, World of Warships, World of Warplanes, World of Tanks, Tomb Raider 2013 (Steam), 1nsane (GOG), Way of the Samurai 4, League of Legends, Banished, and Soul Reaver (GOG).

Explorer++, Acoustica Mixcraft 6, WeChat, Terragen 4, and GMATPrep 2.4.323, and the Avast Antivirus are among the Windows apps that received attention in Wine 2.9. The Wine 2.9 source tarball can be downloaded right now from our website if you fancy compiling it on your favorite GNU/Linux distribution, but please try to keep in mind that this is a pre-release version not suitable for production use.
