Wine 5.2 release, Windows compatibility layer applications

Wine 5.2 was released. Wine (Wine Is Not an Emulator) is a compatibility layer to run Windows applications in a variety of POSIX-compliant operating system interfaces (such as Linux, macOS and BSD, etc.). It is not the same as a virtual machine or simulator to mimic the internal logic of Windows, but the Windows API calls translated into dynamic POSIX calls, eliminating the memory footprint and other performance behavior, so that you can cleanly integrate Windows applications to the desktop.

This updated version includes:

  • More compatible code page mapping table.
  • Support the empty display driver as the actual driver.
  • Resources and the message compiler better UTF-8 support.
  • Fixed an issue where the ucrtbase as a C runtime.
  • Some bug fixes.
