Gitlab News
by Alexandre Julliard Sept. 15, 2025

Sept. 15, 2025

Folks, As you may have noticed, now that the ARM64 support is done (just kidding), I've picked up the work on the Gitlab migration: 1. The Wiki has been moved to Gitlab, it's now at [1]. Existing URLs to the previous Wiki are redirected to the appropriate page. There are also separate Wikis for appdb, vkd3d and wine-staging, under their respective project pages. As part of the migration I've done some minor edits, but most of the Wiki is badly out-of-date, and could use some love. Help is welcome! Check the Writers page [2] for details on how to contribute. 2. We are now hosting the Mono project on the WineHQ Gitlab [3]. Please join me in welcoming the Mono developers to our community! 3. We have new hardware for the Gitlab server, which is now noticeably faster. Thanks to Jeremy Newman for setting this up! This also made it possible to enable robots.txt again so that our content is indexed. The next step will be to install new hardware for the Gitlab runners to offer more CI bandwidth. 4. The Gitlab issue tracker is currently disabled because it was attracting too much spam. I'm going to re-enable it, first for use by Mono, and then ultimately also for Wine itself. To fight the spam I'm planning to add an explicit user verification step, modelled along the procedure used by Freedesktop.org [4]. 5. As part of the new sign-up process, I think it would be a good idea to have an explicit Code of Conduct to spell out our expectations. Instead of reinventing the wheel, I propose that we adopt the Contributor Covenant [5] that many other projects (including Mono) are already using. Thoughts? Questions? Comments?

Hi folks, Many CodeWeavers folks will be in Brussels this weekend attending FOSDEM. If anybody else is around, or near Brussels, please feel free to either drop me an email or simply turn up to the BrewDog on Friday or Saturday evenings from 17:00. Many of us will be in Brussels Thursday and Sunday evenings too, but our exact location is less certain; if you let me know you’re interested, I can keep you in the loop. Sorry for the late notice!

[PATCH] ntsync: Fix reference leaks in the remaining create ioctls.
by Elizabeth Figura Jan. 16, 2025

Jan. 16, 2025

When ntsync_obj_get_fd() fails, we free the ntsync object but forget to drop the "file" member. This was fixed for semaphores in 0e7d523b5f7a23b1dc6ceceb04e31a60e9e3321d, but that commit did not fix the similar leak for events and mutexes, since they were part of patches not yet in the mainline kernel. Fix those cases. Fixes: 5bc2479a3585b "ntsync: Introduce NTSYNC_IOC_CREATE_MUTEX." Fixes: 4c7404b9c2b57 "ntsync: Introduce NTSYNC_IOC_CREATE_EVENT."

Upcoming vkd3d 1.15 release
by Henri Verbeet Jan. 15, 2025

Jan. 15, 2025

Hi all, As previously announced, the planned release date for vkd3d 1.15 is February 19. That means the public API will become frozen a week from now on January 22, and we'll go into feature freeze on February 5. As usual, if you're an upstream vkd3d developer, please do the following: - Keep an eye on Bugzilla for any reported regressions. - Review any API changes since the previous release. - Verify that all vkd3d tests pass on your hardware/setup, and please send fixes if they don't. - Review and improve the documentation. If you're a downstream user of vkd3d, please test your applications for any regressions, and file bug reports if you find any. The planned release date for vkd3d 1.16 is May 21. Regards, Henri

I wasn't sure it was fine to preserve the ack across changes (even if they were the ones you suggested) and decided to err on the safe side. Thank you for the review!
