[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).

by Evan Tang (＠etang-cw) April 12, 2026

April 12, 2026

Allows the Adobe Photoshop Elements installer to get slightly further than before The `E_FAIL` check for switching to int while there's a non-integer string isn't needed for the installer and is just something I hit accidentally when trying to write the test cases. Should I leave it in? -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/1338

[PATCH v10 0/11] MR9628: Implement pointer input APIs for multi-touch support
by Hecheng Yu (＠kde-yyds) April 9, 2026

April 9, 2026

These patches implemeted core pointer input APIs required by modern applications with touchscreen support, particularly Chromium and Qt-based applications. Implemented APIs: - GetPointerType: Query pointer input type (touch, pen, mouse) - GetPointerTouchInfo: Retrieve detailed touch pointer information - GetPointerFrameTouchInfo: Get all active touch pointers in current frame Added stubs: - SkipPointerFrameMessages: Used by applications to skip pointer frame processing like Qt - GetPointerFrameTouchInfoHistory: Historical touch frame data (not yet implemented) - GetPointerPenInfoHistory: Historical pen data (not yet implemented) System metrics changes: - SM_DIGITIZER: Reports touch capabilities (NID_INTEGRATED_TOUCH | NID_MULTI_INPUT | NID_READY) - SM_MAXIMUMTOUCHES: Returns maximum simultaneous touch points (10) Limitations: - We explictly set pointer type to PT_TOUCH when storing pointer info to queue, so GetPointerType will always return PT_TOUCH - GetPointerFrameTouchInfo returns 0 pointers after finger lift, while Windows returns 1 pointer with UP flags. And SkipPointerFrameMessages is currently a stub returning TRUE. Qt's pointer message processing uses both of them, but it's just working well Application requirements: - Chromium: Requires GetPointerType and GetPointerTouchInfo for touch input - Qt applications: Need GetPointerFrameTouchInfo and proper system metrics for multi-touch support - Qt5: Additionally checks for presence of all pointer APIs at runtime, requiring stubs to enable pointer messages processing -- v10: user32: Implement GetPointerFrameTouchInfo win32u: Implement NtUserGetPointerFrameTouchInfo user32: Implement GetPointerTouchInfo win32u: Implement NtUserGetPointerTouchInfo user32: Implement GetPointerType win32u: Implement NtUserGetPointerType win32u: Add pointer information cache and storage user32: Stub GetPointerPenInfoHistory user32: Stub GetPointerFrameTouchInfoHistory user32: Stub SkipPointerFrameMessages win32u: Add SM_DIGITIZER and SM_MAXIMUMTOUCHES system metrics https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/9628

[PATCH v4 0/1] MR9038: Draft: msi: implement MsiProvideAssembly[AW]()
by Ratchanan Srirattanamet (＠ratchanan.sr) March 31, 2026

March 31, 2026

TODO: - make awstring version of MsiProvideComponent() and use that. - Actually implement MsiProvideAssemblyA() using the above. - Write conformance test? Dependency: - Have ACTION_PublishAssemblies() record feature (https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/9037) - Have MsiEnumFeatures() fixed. Currently it seems to just look for features at the wrong place and thus is useless for this purpose.

by Aida Jonikienė March 30, 2026

Many mod/ASI loaders hijack this DLL to do their work so accommodate this fairly common case by preferring their library. -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/6527
