\nWine 11.16 is out today as the newest bi-weekly development release for this software enabling Windows games and applications to run on Linux and other platforms.<\/p>\n

Most exciting with Wine 11.16 is implementing hardware-accelerated video decoding using the Video Acceleration API (VA-API<\/a>). This VA-API support is a VA-API back-end to Direct3D video decode. The code by Elizabeth Figura of CodeWeavers implements H.264 decoding with WineD3D and plumbs in the necessary integration around VA-API with WineD3D. The code in current form though only supports H.264 decoding and not H.265 or other alternatives. <\/p>\n

\"WineD3D<\/p>\n

Wine 11.16 also brings ARM64 improvements including an updated Wine Mono engine now supporting 64-bit ARM. There is also improved exception handling on ARM64EC.<\/p>\n

Wine 11.16 brings 35 known bug fixes helping games like Command and Conquer 3 and the Steam client to apps like Siemens Automation and regedit. There is also a Wayland fix in Wine 11.16 around $WAYLAND_DISPLAY handling. <\/p>\n
