A whole year has passed since the release of Wine 5.0, and the developers have presented a stable release of Wine 6.0. There are many updates, there are over 8300 changes in the new version of Wine. The main thing worth noting is the delivery of basic Wine modules in PE format, a backend based on the Vulkan graphical API for WineD3D, an updated text console, the appearance of DirectShow support and the Media Foundation framework.
At the moment, the normal operation of 5049 Windows applications has been officially confirmed. With additional configuration Wine 6.0 can run 4227 more applications. Some of them are unstable, but in general there are many more than 10 thousand Windows programs running under Wine.
