Submitting patches to staging
by light gray Feb. 25, 2026

Feb. 25, 2026

Hi! On the condition that I de-anonymize myself, would it be possible for me to submit my patches over at https://github.com/Weather-OS/WineGDK to wine staging? My repository fully complies with Wine's cleanroom guidelines, and more importantly, I *do not, and under no circumstances,* use AI generated code to implement API functionality. I solely rely on tests written and compiled within a Windows environment and Microsoft's own documentation. Best Regards.

Handling page faults in syscalls
by tblodt＠icloud.com Dec. 27, 2025

Dec. 27, 2025

I just had a bit of a frustrating moment debugging why winecfg was crashing in my freshly built tree, and discovered something that many of you probably already know but is new to me: Wine swallows page faults that happen inside a syscall and just unwinds the stack to the caller returning an error, with only a trace level log. This seems surprising - normally page faults indicate a bug and need to be reported. And also scary - the code behind the syscall boundary can be anything, not necessarily part of the wine project, possibly even platform libc, and therefore not safe to unwind. My guess is these are caught instead of killing the process because that's the expected behavior of an NT syscall when you pass a bad pointer to it - that a bad dereference of a userspace pointer would be handled and turned into returning an fault error code. Is this right? But then what would actually make sense is to write separate functions for safely dereferencing user pointers, like Linux has. What should ideally be happening here? ~Theodore

Question about AI-generated code policy
by mcm＠etersoft.ru Dec. 25, 2025

Dec. 25, 2025

Hello everyone, I would like to raise a question about Wine's policy on code generated by Large Language Models (LLMs). Several large open-source projects, including NetBSD, QEMU, and Gentoo, have already stated their strict position about contributing such code [1] [2] [3], but I found no results related to this topic in either the Wine Developer's Guide [4] or wine-devel archives [5]. Would it make sense to formalize a clear code policy regarding code generated by LLM and add it to the Developer's Guide? This would be relevant for both the main Wine tree and the tests subsystem. Best regards, Y. Osipov [1]: https://www.netbsd.org/developers/commit-guidelines.html#tainted [2]: https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/devel/code-provenance.html#use-of-ai-gener… [3]: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Council/AI_policy [4]: https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/wikis/Wine-Developer%27s-Guide [5]: https://list.winehq.org/archives/search?mlist=wine-devel%2540list.winehq.org

Introducing the list.winehq.org domain
by Alexandre Julliard Dec. 10, 2025

Dec. 10, 2025

Folks, Just a heads up that we are starting the process of moving the various Wine mailing lists to a new 'list.winehq.org' domain. So for instance the wine-devel list is going to be at <wine-devel(a)list.winehq.org>. This is necessary to make it possible to host the lists on a different server in the future. Sending mail to the existing @winehq.org addresses will still work, so the change should be mostly transparent, but you may see the list.winehq.org domain start creeping up in the mail headers, and may need to adjust your filters. Note that the recommended way is to filter on the List-Id: header; that one is not expected to change. Thank you for your understanding, -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Welcome to code freeze!
by Alexandre Julliard Dec. 5, 2025

Dec. 5, 2025

Folks, With the release of 11.0-rc1, we are now officially in the code freeze period. Many thanks to everybody for another year of great work! During code freeze, only small, targeted bug fixes will be accepted. When sending fixes, please make sure to mention the bug or the app that is fixed by the change. We are starting code freeze with 200 pending regressions, which is significantly lower than in previous years, where the number was more around 230. It remains to be seen how many regression bugs will be filed against rc1, but I'm hopeful that we can release 11.0 with fewer pending regressions that the previous stable releases. As usual, there will now be weekly -rc releases until the final 11.0, which is expected some time around mid-January. Thank you all for your work! -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org
