Wine 6.0 released Version 6.0 of the Wine Windows not-an-emulator has been released. " This release is
dedicated to the memory of Ken Thomases, who passed away just before
Christmas at the age of 51. Ken was an incredibly brilliant developer, and
the mastermind behind the macOS support in Wine. We all miss his skills,
his patience, and his dark sense of humor." Significant features include core modules built as PE executables, an experimental Direct3D renderer, DirectShow support, a new text console, and more. | | 6:14p |
[$] MAINTAINERS truth and fiction Since the release of the 5.5 kernel in January 2020, there have been almost 87,000 patches from just short of 4,600 developers merged into the mainline repository. Reviewing all of those patches would be a tall order for even the most prolific of kernel developers, so decisions on patch acceptance are delegated to a long list of subsystem maintainers, each of whom takes partial or full responsibility for a specific portion of the kernel. These maintainers are documented in a file called, surprisingly, MAINTAINERS. But the MAINTAINERS file, too, must be maintained; how well does it reflect reality? |
