Incorporating two week’s worth of enhancement and bug fixes, Wine 2.8 makes the Direct3D command stream to run asynchronously, improves the HiDPI (High Dots Per Inch) settings, implements system tray notifications on Apple’s macOS platform, and introduces better automatic detection of parallel and serial ports. But there’s no new stable or development Wine release without some bug fixes, and Wine 2.8 contains a total of 35, improving support for the Coastal Explorer, HyperTerminal, ChessBase Ludwig 3, Microsoft Office 2007 SP3, WinDjView, Xvid 1.3.x installer, Prism Video Converter 2.48, WAtomic, WindBot, and some GPS apps.
