Wine Staging 1.9.8 comes hot on the heels of last week’s Wine 1.9.8 release, which is a new milestone towards the major Wine 2.0 version. And according to today’s announcement, it brings better support for running 64-bit Windows apps, many MSYS2 improvements, and an experimental patch that promises to improve the support for running 64-bit apps on the OS X operating system.
