[PATCH v23 0/6] MR6166: separate env for windows applications (WINENV) from env for wine processes (NIXENV)
by Alois Schloegl (＠schloegl) Nov. 9, 2025

Nov. 9, 2025

Because WINENV is limited (32767 bytes), and HOSTENV can be much larger, a whitelisting approach is used to keep WINENV as small as possible. Currently, only the following envvars are propagated from the host env to WINENV WINEPATH, WINEPWD, WINEHOME, WINETEMP, WINETMP, WINEQT_, WINEVK_, WINEXDG_SESSION_TYPE Moreover, the NIXENV (env for running wine processes - not applications) on the host system is not produced from WINENV anymore, but the global ENV is propagated to all wine processes and threads. This might be an alternative approach to MR!5231, MR!6140, bug #56941 and should provide a more deterministic behaviour of wine, because unrelated envvars do have no influence on the env for running windows applications. Initial tests (winemine, notepad, cmd, etc) seem to run fine, but some envvars might need additional consideration. XVDK_* was mentioned, WINE*, MESA_*, VK_*, QT_*, LIBGL_* are other suspects. Moreover, this is my first merge request, so your feedback is highly appreciated. -- v23: ntdll: main_envp has been replaced by environ ntdll: remove is_dynamic_env_var(...) because it is not needed anymore ntdll: remove unused vars ntdll: remove dead code ntdll: conversion from HOSTENV to WINENV is now using whitelisting instead of blacklisting of envvars currently only envvars "WINE"<special_var> (as defined in is_special_env_var() ) are whitelisted. ntdll: separate env for windows applications (WINENV) from env for wine processes (NIXENV) WINENV is typically limited to 32767 WCHAR, the host environment where wine processes are running can be much larger. Keeping the two envs separate enables a more granula handling of envvars. (see also MR!5231, MR!6140, bug #56941) https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/6166

[PATCH 0/1] MR7901: ntdll: Treat XDG_DATA_DIRS as special env variable.
by Louis Lenders (＠xe) Nov. 9, 2025

Nov. 9, 2025

Wine-Bug: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49987 GTK apps seem to use this env var to find path to schemas, like Meld: https://download.gnome.org/binaries/win32/meld/3.22/Meld-3.22.2-mingw.msi which doesn't start at all without this patch. More info in https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49987. v2: add WINEXDG_DATA_DIRS and use that in winemenubuilder. -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/7901

[PATCH v2 0/1] MR5890: winex11.drv: Fix a possible desktop window message queue hang.
by Zhiyi Zhang (＠zhiyi) Nov. 6, 2025

Nov. 6, 2025

After an X11 event handler queues messages to another thread, TRUE should be returned and eventually propagated to X11DRV_ProcessEvents(). When FALSE is always returned in xrandr14_device_change_handler(), a possible hang can happen for the desktop message queue as follows: 1. The explorer.exe calls GetMessageW() -> NtUserGetMessage() -> wait_objects() -> wait_message(). 2. In wait_message(), user_driver->pProcessEvents() gets called in the desktop window thread to handle RRNotify events and calls xrandr14_device_change_handler() -> display_mode_changed(FALSE) -> send_message(get_desktop_window(), WM_DISPLAYCHANGE, ...) -> desktop_window_proc() -> send_message_timeout() -> send_client_message() -> process_message() -> broadcast_message() -> send_message_timeout() -> send_client_message() -> process_message() -> send_inter_thread_message() -> wait_message_reply() -> a server set_queue_mask() with skip_wait being 1 -> wake_mask and changed_mask are set to 0. 3. In wait_message(), user_driver->pProcessEvents() returns FALSE from xrandr14_device_change_handler(). So wait_message() continues to call NtWaitForMultipleObjects(). 4. Now NtWaitForMultipleObjects() hangs for INFINITE timeout because wake_mask and changed_mask for the message queue are set to 0 so the thread is not woke up. The hang is sensitive to message ordering and only happens in this specific case so it's hard to reproduce with tests. I believe some of the past test timeouts on TestBots can be attributed to this bug. -- v2: winex11.drv: Fix a possible desktop window message queue hang. https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/5890

[PATCH v2 0/1] MR7410: test-linux32: Disable broken tests that are already released broken
by Damien Zammit (＠zamaudio) Oct. 28, 2025

Oct. 28, 2025

This should allow the CI to fully pass on this merge request. If it does, master branch could have CI tests enabled to ensure any actual broken test caused by a merge request is visible just by the CI status, and master can also reflect the passing status.

[PATCH 0/2] MR8120: wow64: Convert SCSI_PASS_THROUGH and SCSI_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT structures in wow64_NtDeviceIoControlFile.
by Akihiro Sagawa (＠sgwaki) Oct. 23, 2025

Oct. 23, 2025

Otherwise, NtDeviceIoControlFile fails because of a structure size mismatch. This happens since SCSI_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT and SCSI_PASS_THROUGH structures contain a pointer-type member, which is 4 bytes in a 32-bit system and 8 bytes in a 64-bit system.

[PATCH v3 0/2] MR1321: Reject wic invalid formats
by Zhiyi Zhang (＠zhiyi) Oct. 21, 2025

Oct. 21, 2025

These invalid formats are rejected when creating WIC render targets. Otherwise, Wine may create a WIC render target with an unsupported format and in turn, will make testing IsSupported() method difficult. -- v3: d2d1: Test creating WIC bitmap render targets. d2d1: Reject unsupported formats when creating WIC bitmap render targets. https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/1321
