Wine 6.0 has been released. Wine (Wine Is Not an Emulator) is a compatibility layer that can run Windows applications on a variety of POSIX-compatible operating systems (such as Linux, macOS, and BSD). It does not imitate the internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, but translates Windows API calls into dynamic POSIX calls, eliminating the memory usage of performance and other behaviors, allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications to the desktop.
This update commemorates Ken Thomases, an outstanding developer who left before Christmas and the main person in charge of macOS support on Wine.
