Apart from all the new features and enhancements implemented in Wine 2.0, Wine Staging 2.0 adds support for several new windowscodecs image formats, better support for semi-transparent layered windows, improved emulation of deferred rendering contexts, and some other, smaller bug fixes and under-the-hood changes.

The development team lead by Michael M??ller is reporting on some of them, proving everyone that Direct3D 11 is not completely unusable on Wine.
