Based on the Wine 2.13 development release, Wine Staging 2.13 inherits all of its new features and improvements, such as support for Unicode 10.0.0, support for persistent connections in WinHTTP, support for the Message Framing protocol in WebServices, and support for debug registers in x86_64 exception handling. Additionally, it brings nicer looking default mouse cursors, some anti-aliasing improvements in DirectWrite, and better metafile support in GdiPlus. But Wine Staging 2.13 carries some new changes of its own, including the ability to set and copy UAV counters, as well as for indirect drawing and compute dispatching in D3D11.
