+- Text layout in Uniscribe supports character-specific position
+ adjustments. Right-to-left text handling is also improved.
+
+- There is an initial implementation of the DirectWrite text layout
+ engine.
+
+- Built-in fonts are more complete, with the addition of FixedSys and
+ Wingdings fonts, more high-resolution pixel fonts, and a wider range
+ of glyphs in the existing fonts, notably Arabic glyphs in Tahoma.
+
+- Bi-directional text support is improved in the RichEdit control.
+
+
+*** Input devices
+
+- The raw input API is supported for keyboard and mouse input.
+
+- There is a joystick applet in the control panel, to allow
+ configuring joysticks and testing their behavior.
+
+- Force feedback is supported for Mac OS X joysticks.
+
+
+*** Kernel
+
+- DOSBox is tried first when running a DOS application. The Wine DOS
+ support is only used as a fallback when DOSBox cannot be found, and
+ will be removed in a future release.
+
+- A monotonic time counter is used on platforms that support it, to
+ make timers more robust against system time changes.
+
+- File times are reported with nanosecond resolution.
+
+- Wine can be configured to report the Windows version as 'Windows 8'.
+
+
+*** .NET support
+
+- The Mono runtime is packaged as an MSI file, and its installation
+ can be managed from the "Add/Remove Programs" control panel. It is
+ automatically installed on Wine prefix updates.
+
+- .NET mixed mode assemblies are supported.
+
+- The Microsoft .NET 4.0 runtime can be installed for cases where Mono
+ is not good enough yet.
+
+
+*** OLE / COM
+
+- The typelib writer is reimplemented for better compatibility.
+
+- OLE DB supports more data types and conversions.
+
+- OLE automation manages a cache of string allocations for better
+ performance and compatibility.
+
+
+*** Internet and networking
+
+- HTTPS connections use GnuTLS (or Secure Transport on Mac OS X).
+ OpenSSL is no longer used.
+
+- The TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 protocols are enabled by default, with
+ automatic fallback to TLS 1.0. The SSL2 protocol is disabled by
+ default.
+
+- Security certificate validation errors are handled better.
+
+- NTLM and Negotiate authentication protocols are supported.
+
+- ActiveX controls can be downloaded and installed automatically.
+
+- Internet proxy bypass is supported, and can be enabled either
+ through the registry or with the no_proxy environment variable.
+
+- Broadcast packets can be received on interface-bound sockets, which
+ is needed for some networked multi-player games.
+
+- The Server Name Indication TLS extension is supported.
+
+- Persistent cookies are supported, and URL cache files are managed
+ better. The Internet control panel allows clearing saved cookies and
+ cache files.
+
+- Punycode encoding for Internationalized Domain Names is supported.
+
+- JavaScript performance is improved. The built-in JavaScript engine
+ is preferred over the Gecko one in most cases.
+
+- Many more built-in functions of VBScript are implemented. Regular
+ expressions are also supported.
+
+- The Gecko engine is updated to the version from Firefox 21.
+
+- The Gecko and Mono installers are cached upon download, to allow
+ installation in multiple Wine prefixes without additional downloads.
+
+
+*** Direct3D
+
+- The Direct3D 9Ex implementation is more complete. In particular:
+ - IDirect3DDevice9Ex::PresentEx is implemented.
+ - IDirect3DDevice9Ex::ResetEx is implemented.
+ - Various Direct3D 9Ex display mode handling functions are implemented.
+ - Direct3D 9Ex style video memory accounting is implemented.
+
+- Like the X11 driver, WineD3D no longer uses the big X11 lock when
+ making GL calls.
+
+- The WineD3D graphics card database is updated to recognize more
+ graphics cards.
+
+- The fallback card detection code for unrecognized graphics cards is
+ improved. This results in a more reasonable card being reported when
+ the graphics card is not already in the WineD3D database.
+
+- WineD3D has GLSL based implementations of Direct3D fixed-function
+ vertex and fragment processing. In some cases this allows
+ functionality that's not present in fixed-function OpenGL to be
+ implemented, in other cases it allows functionality to be
+ implemented in a more efficient way.
+
+- On drivers that support it, GL_ARB_debug_output is used to get more
+ detailed debugging output from the OpenGL driver.
+
+- On drivers that support it, GL_ARB_framebuffer_sRGB is used for
+ rendering to frame buffers in the sRGB color space.
+
+- On drivers that support it, GL_ARB_instanced_arrays is used for more
+ efficient instanced drawing.
+
+- On drivers that support it, and return useful information,
+ GL_ARB_internalformat_query2 is used for more accurate reporting of
+ surface / texture format capabilities.
+
+- There is an initial implementation of a HLSL compiler.
+
+- Improvements to various parts of the D3DX9 implementation, including:
+ - The surface and texture handling functions. This includes code for
+ loading, saving, filling, and rendering to surfaces and textures.
+ - The effects framework.
+ - The constant table implementation.
+ - A number of spherical harmonics functions have been implemented.
+ - Support for .x files.
+
+- Improvements to the Direct3D 10 implementation, including:
+ - Support for more shader model 4 opcodes and register types.
+ - Support for shader model 4 indirect addressing.
+ - Initial geometry shader support.
+ - Improved binary effect parsing.
+ - Support for Direct3D 10 style instanced draws, using
+ GL_ARB_draw_instanced.
+
+
+*** DirectDraw
+
+- Vertex buffers are created with WINED3DUSAGE_DYNAMIC when locked with
+ DDLOCK_DISCARDCONTENTS, resulting in improved performance in some cases.
+
+- The 2D-only fallback in WineD3D for using DirectDraw without a
+ working OpenGL implementation is more robust. Note that this still
+ isn't a recommended configuration.
+
+
+*** Audio and video
+
+- DirectSound has a better resampler.
+
+- Audio device enumeration is improved, and multi-channel devices are
+ better supported.
+
+- VMR-9 video rendering is implemented.
+
+
+*** Printer support
+
+- The PPD files of already installed printers are automatically
+ refreshed when needed.
+
+- Printing resolution can be configured from the print dialog.
+
+- Simulated italic fonts can be printed.
+
+- On Mac OS X, the default paper size is retrieved from the system
+ configuration.
+
+
+*** Internationalization
+
+- Japanese vertical text is correctly supported.
+
+- Translated font names are used when there is a match for the current
+ language.
+
+- Wine is translated to French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch,
+ Swedish, Finnish, Portuguese, Catalan, Hungarian, Polish, Danish,
+ Russian, Slovenian, Lithuanian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and
+ Arabic. It has partial translations for another fifteen languages.
+
+- Various additional Mac OS code pages are supported, namely Japanese,
+ Traditional Chinese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Romanian,
+ Ukrainian, Thai, and Croatian code pages. This improves support for
+ loading translated font names from Mac OS font files.
+
+
+*** Built-in applications
+
+- The new 'netstat' application displays information about active
+ network connections.
+
+- The 'cabarc' application supports multi-cabinet archives.
+
+- The 'attrib' application supports recursing in sub-directories.
+
+- The 'ipconfig' application can display IPv6 addresses.
+
+- The 'start' application allows setting process priority and affinity.
+
+- The 'cmd' application support arithmetic variable expansion,
+ comparison operators, and various extra features in 'for' loops.
+
+- All graphical built-in applications have a 256x256 icon for use with
+ the Mac driver.
+
+
+*** Build environment
+
+- The configure script uses pkg-config when possible to find library
+ dependencies. Compiler and linker flags can be passed explicitly for
+ each dependency to override pkg-config where necessary.
+
+- The IDL compiler supports nameless structs and unions and generates
+ portable C code for them.
+
+- The IDL compiler generates the same header guards as the Microsoft
+ one for better header compatibility.
+
+- Generated assembler files are built by invoking the C compiler when
+ possible, for better compatibility with the Clang tool chain.
+
+- The Winedump tool can display the contents of typelib files.
+
+- The Fnt2bdf tool has been removed since X11 server-side fonts are no
+ longer used.
+
+
+*** Platform-specific changes
+
+- On Linux, dynamic device management supports the UDisks2 service.
+
+- On Mac OS X, the Recycle Bin is mapped to the Mac OS Trash.
+
+- Debugging support for ARM platforms is improved, including the
+ ability to display ARM assembly in the Wine debugger, and support
+ for relay tracing.
+
+- Building Wine for the ARM64 platform is supported.
+
+- There is preliminary support for building Wine for Android using the
+ Android NDK.
+
+- The DragonFly FreeBSD variant is supported.
+
+- The Alpha and Sparc platforms are no longer supported.
+
+
+*** Miscellaneous
+
+- XML namespaces are better supported. XML parsing is also implemented
+ in the XMLLite library.
+
+- Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is implemented, with a wide
+ range of WBEM system classes.
+
+- A number of forwarding libraries are added to support the API Sets
+ feature added in Windows 8.
+
+- More of the latest functions of the C runtime are implemented,
+ particularly the locale functions. Exception handling and RTTI are
+ supported on 64-bit.
+
+- The standard C++ class libraries are more complete, particularly the
+ math functions and the stream classes.
+
+
+*** New external dependencies
+
+- LibOSMesa is used for OpenGL rendering to device-independent bitmaps.
+
+
+*** Useful configuration options
+
+Note: More details about these and other configuration options can be
+ found at http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys
+
+- Client-side window rendering can be disabled if necessary by setting
+ "ClientSideGraphics" to "N" under HKCU\Software\Wine\X11 Driver.
+
+- On Mac OS X, in case an application doesn't work properly with the
+ Mac driver, it is possible to go back to the X11 driver by setting
+ "Graphics" to "x11" under HKCU\Software\Wine\Drivers.
+
+- Some X11 compositors do not cope properly with transparent windows
+ that use non-rectangular shapes. In that case, window shaping can be
+ disabled by setting "ShapeLayeredWindows" to "N" under
+ HKCU\Software\Wine\X11 Driver.
+
+- The "VertexShaderMode" and "PixelShaderMode" settings under
+ HKCU\Software\Wine\Direct3D have been replaced by the "MaxShaderModelVS",
+ "MaxShaderModelGS" and "MaxShaderModelPS" (DWORD) settings. These allow
+ limiting the maximum supported shader model version. Setting these to 0
+ disables support for the corresponding shader type, like "VertexShaderMode"
+ and "PixelShaderMode" did.
+
+- The default value for the "AlwaysOffscreen" setting under
+ HKCU\Software\Wine\Direct3D is "enabled". It can still be disabled
+ by setting it to "disabled".
+
+
+*** Known issues
+

+ versions, notably on RHEL 5. The only solution is to upgrade the X
+ libraries.
