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

Extended test suite
by Giovanni Mascellani Nov. 13, 2025

Nov. 13, 2025

Hi, some time ago I was asked by a reviewer to modify a MR I had submitted to remove some of the conformance tests I had added with it. The concern, which I find completely valid, was that since the tests are run on each MR submission we should try to reduce (or, at least, do not increase too much) the run time, otherwise it becomes too much inconvenient for everybody. As I said, that totally makes sense for me, and in that particular occasion I ended up removing some cases, hopefully keeping enough to cover all the common test cases. But corner cases exist too, and they can make a developer waste a lot of time chasing them down. And at least in my experience it's often hard to predict which specific cases are going to be somehow critical in the future. So giving up some tests bears most of the times if not always the risk of having to waste time on something that would have been simpler if only we had kept that specific test case. So I'm curious to know whether anybody else experiences this problem, and possibly brainstorm some ideas about how to work it around. What I'd like to propose is to introduce an extended test suite, which in practice means adding a flag to our current test suite and gating some tests to be executed (at all, or to be executed on a larger number of cases) only if the flag is set. The regular test suite could be run on all MRs, and the extended test suite could be run perhaps once per day or so. The feedback is less immediate, but it still looks better than dropping those tests at all. The terms "pre-merge test" and "post-merge tests" are sometimes used, I think they essentially mean the same thing. Is there any interest for this? Or alternative solutions? Gio.

64-Bit twain data source manager should be named twaindsm.dll instead of twain_32.dll
by Bernd Herd Nov. 10, 2025

Nov. 10, 2025

Hello, for 64-Bit, the code in dlls/twain_32 should be compiled into a library installed as twaindsm.dll instead of twain_32.dll, since Windows applications do expect a 64-Bit Data Source Manager to be named twaindsm.dll. How could that be done? Background: wine includes an interface from the TWAIN interface common in Windows to the SANE interface common on Linux. This is dlls/sane.ds, which is in TWAIN speak a "Data Source". This allows to use most scanners supported by SANE from WINE, without caring about any special drivers. Which is a pretty cool thing. 64 Bit TWAIN is somewhat exotic, since Microsoft is pushing towards their WIA interface and does not include a 64-Bit Data Source Manager with Windows. The 32-Bit Data Source Manager shipped with Windows is TWAIN_32.DLL. This DLL is under control of Microsoft and the TWAIN organization cannot update it, so they choose to name their update DSM "twaindsm.dll". I found some more information on that here: https://github.com/twain/twain-dsm/blob/master/TWAIN_DSM/src/readme.doc](ht… This twaindsm.dll is available in 32-Bit and 64-Bit. And so the only 64-Bit DSM that application programs expect is twaindsm.dll. There are hardly any 64-Bit TWAIN drivers available on Windows. Irfanview 64-Bit uses twaindsm.dll if installed and spawns a 32-Bit EXE if not. Older versions of 64-Bit Libreoffice for Windows used twaindsm.dll. New Versions start a 32-Bit process to use 32-Bit TWAIN. The code in the dlls/sane.ds searches for "twain_32", and I know two ways to solve this. What I don't know is how to change wine so that it compiles dlls/twain_32 to twaindsm.dll for 64-Bit Builds only and deploy that dll to the wine prefix. Any suggestion of how to do that? Yours Bernd Herd :-)

RoResolveNamespace and winmd
by James McDonnell Nov. 6, 2025

Nov. 6, 2025

Hello, I see the winmd File generation work has landed in wine. In order for affinity to run, it needs to map winrt namespaces to winmd files. These are defined in the idl files afaict. I am looking for guidance of looking up this information in RoResolveNamespace. I see in the widl tool we generate the files. I did not find any parser for winmd files. Is there somewhere I should look? Or is this new ground. Would it be acceptable to have an override in the registry that RoResolveNamespace uses such that wine prefixes can customize if needed? Thank you, James
