[PATCH v4 0/30] MR2122: Draft: winex11: Support fixed X11 keycode to scancode conversion.
by Rémi Bernon June 2, 2026

June 2, 2026

X11 keycodes are just Linux keycodes + 8 nowadays according to evdev or libinput drivers, and we can avoid innacurate reconstruction in the most common case. Opening this as a draft for now, to show where I'd like to go with https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/2062. -- v4: winex11: Use KbdLayerDescriptor for ToUnicodeEx. win32u: Force US layout in ToUnicode when CTRL is pressed. winex11: Use KbdLayerDescriptor for VkKeyScanEx. winex11: Use KbdLayerDescriptor for MAPVK_VK_TO_CHAR. winex11: Fill the Xkb layout KBDTABLES VkToWchar tables. winex11: Use KbdLayerDescriptor for GetKeyNameText. winex11: Fill the Xkb layout KBDTABLES KeyNames tables. winex11: Use KbdLayerDescriptor for MapVirtualKeyEx. winex11: Create KBDTABLES with VSCtoVK tables for Xkb layouts. winex11: Lookup xkb layout in KbdLayerDescriptor. win32u: Introduce KbdLayerDescriptor user driver entry. winex11: Get rid of now unnecessary EVENT_event_to_vkey. server: Convert CTRL + VK_PAUSE to VK_CANCEL. winex11: Drop now unnecessray nonchar_key_vkey table. winex11: Drop now unnecessary keyboard layout detection code. winex11: Use static scan code to vkey mapping tables. winex11: Support fixed X11 keycode to scancode conversion. winex11: Use scancode high bit to set KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY flag. winex11: Don't update the keyboard layouts on MappingNotify. winex11: Stop sending WM_INPUTLANGCHANGEREQUEST on MappingNotify. winex11: Send WM_INPUTLANGCHANGEREQUEST when Xkb group changes. crypt32: Avoid using uninitialized memory. winex11: Compute Xkb keyboard layout ID and language. winex11: Keep a list of every known Xkb keyboard layout. winex11: Read the _XKB_RULES_NAMES root window property. winex11: Listen to _XKB_RULES_NAMES root window property changes. win32u: Avoid accessing NULL key name string pointer. win32u: Init vsc2char in NtUserMapVirtualKeyEx only if necessary. win32u: Init vsc2vk in NtUserMapVirtualKeyEx only if necessary. win32u: Init vsc2vk in NtUserGetKeyNameText only if necessary.

[PATCH v14 0/8] MR1074: Draft: ntdll: Improve Valgrind and GDB integration.
by Rémi Bernon May 31, 2026

May 31, 2026

Valgrind support requires a fork, which I've published to https://gitlab.winehq.org/rbernon/valgrind. The fork implements loading DWARF debug info from PE files, instead of the old and broken upstream PDB support. I've tried to upstream these changes a long time ago but didn't receive any feedback. I think we could maybe consider keeping a fork, which I'm happy to maintain, as the changes aren't too large. We may want to investigate adding 32-on-64 support, which may require a bit more changes (to VEX specifically, because its amd64 guest doesn't support segment register manipulation). The changes here are not all related to Valgrind, and I'll create separate MR for those which may make sense independently from Valgrind / GDB. Also included is a suppression file to silent some annoying false positives, many of which are coming from the cross-stack accesses during syscalls, which are confusing Valgrind's stack heuristics. One can try this out with something like: `WINELOADERNOEXEC=1 valgrind --suppressions=tools/valgrind.supp wine64/loader/wine64 wine64/programs/winecfg/winecfg.exe` -- v14: ntdll: Avoid marking freed block header as undefined for valgrind. ntdll: Force HEAP_TAIL_CHECKING_ENABLED flag with valgrind. ntdll: Fix valgrind notifications from ntdll.so. ntdll: Import valgrind headers for PE side ntdll. DEBUG: ntdll: Don't use preloader when running on valgrind. tools: Add gdbunwind.py script with a syscall unwinder. ntdll: Maintain a PE module link map and expose it to GDB. loader: Expose the standard debugging symbols for GDB. https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/1074

[PATCH 0/2] MR6841: wow64: Support running a BT module provided suspend routine.
by Billy Laws (＠bylaws) May 4, 2026

May 4, 2026

Suspension in JITs cannot easily be handled on the unix side, so allow BT modules to provide their own suspend helper. This purely supports local thread suspension currently. -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/6841

[PATCH 0/2] MR8414: Fix EV Nova game text truncation.
by Zhiyi Zhang (＠zhiyi) April 29, 2026

April 29, 2026

Fix the rectangle from DrawText(..., DT_CALCRECT) with a selected font might not be enough to actually draw text with the font for the EV Nova game. This ensures that text extent calculated with a font selected in a device context is enough when drawing texts using the same font and device context. The root cause is that FreeType might report different font metrics for different GGO formats. GetTextExtentExPoint() gets text extent with GGO_METRICS. And GGO_METRICS gets font metrics from glyphs loaded with FT_LOAD_TARGET_NORMAL, so when drawing bitmap fonts, which is of GGO_BITMAP format loaded with FT_LOAD_TARGET_MONO, with the calculated text extent, the result text might get truncated because of the font metrics difference. On Windows, anti-aliased font and bitmap font of the same face font reports the same font metrics so such a problem doesn't happen. The ultimate fix is to let FreeType hint the bitmap fonts with the same font metrics as anti-aliased fonts but there are no settings that can achieve it unless we write a new FreeType hinter.

[PATCH v4 0/1] MR8794: shell32: Restore the ability of running unix executables via unix paths
by Yuxuan Shui (＠yshui) April 17, 2026

April 17, 2026

MobaXTerm tries to ShellExecute "/bin/sh" when running under wine. This ability to run unix executables on the host via unix paths was accidentally removed in the attemp to align ShellExecute more closely with native, while fixing the problem that sometimes wrong executable is started by ShellExecute (e.g. in Motor Race Collection).
