[PATCH v7 0/2] MR10340: comctl32/tooltips: suppress icon and title when title is NULL or empty.
by Larry Starr (＠starrl) May 11, 2026

May 11, 2026

Per MSDN, TTM_SETTITLE with a NULL or empty title string should suppress both the title row and any associated icon. Previously an empty string was treated the same as a non-empty title, causing the icon to still be displayed and the tooltip to be incorrectly sized.

[PATCH 0/1] MR10778: patch: Wine InitializeTouchInjection for user32.dll
by Joe Meyer (＠joelawm) May 11, 2026

May 11, 2026

This patch adds support for [World Creator ](https://www.world-creator.com/en/index.phtml)and allows the application to load successfully in Proton 10. I verified locally using a Bottles configuration. ![Screenshot From 2026-04-27 18-11-14.png](/uploads/5192c326ebf47af2bf1c1d0ed5c67722/Screenshot_From_2026-04-27_18-11-14.png){width=900 height=507} -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/10778

[PATCH v2 0/1] MR10279: configure.ac: fixes libusb detection on FreeBSD
by Thibault Payet (＠thpayet) May 10, 2026

May 10, 2026

This fixes libusb detection on FreeBSD. I don't have a simple program to test though, nor a specific peripheral that need such access. I haven't build on GNU/Linux, but I think that it should not be impacted (hopefully, the build cluster will tell us). -- v2: configure.ac: fixes libusb detection on FreeBSD https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/10279

[PATCH v2 0/4] MR8688: server: Start to expose Unix symlinks as NT reparse points.
by Elizabeth Figura (＠zfigura) May 10, 2026

May 10, 2026

A Wine user has requested the ability to interact with Unix symlinks from Win32 code. While the generic functionality of NT reparse points is still not implemented upstream, it will probably involve a completely different code path than this, so there does not seem to me to be any point in waiting for that to be done before submitting these patches. This does not implement all the relevant functionality. FILE_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT is now respected, but returns an fd with no fd->unix_fd. Thus far only file disposition (i.e. deletion), renaming and hardlinking are implemented, and all other operations return the no_fd_status, for which STATUS_REPARSE_POINT_NOT_RESOLVED is arbitrarily chosen. This is probably going to be controversial. As controversial patches tend to get deferred forever, I'm going to at least try to pose some questions related to concept and implementation which may be easier to answer. * Do we want to expose Unix symlinks at all? This was requested by a Wine user, and it does seem a strong argument that Wine, in general, supports some measure of integration with the host, including exposing custom interfaces for programs written to take advantage of it. We also, currently, already expose Unix *directory* symlinks via NtQueryAttributesFile(). We don't currently expose such file symlinks (and this series does not change that particular point, but it would be done by follow-up patches). In a sense we are expanding existing partial support. On the other hand, Unix symlinks which are completely opaque can be useful, and some downstream distributions (CrossOver and Proton) currently rely on them to reduce disk space usage while keeping the application unaware of a symlink (even if it were to use FILE_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT. Not that any applications are currently known that would break if this were to change, and in any case they could simply revert these patches.) * Implementation-wise, is having unix_fd == -1 a non-starter? This can be true of other real fds in some specific cases... * It's also true that this current implementation suffers from some degree of TOCTOU problems: because we only store the name and not the FD anymore, the actual underlying object at that path can change. This would not be true on Windows. Is this a problem? * One alternate approach would be to use O_PATH (Linux, FreeBSD) and O_SYMLINK (Mac). I don't see any equivalent flag for NetBSD or Solaris, so we would probably just not be able to expose this functionality there. Note that while the documentation seems to imply that O_PATH only stores the path, manual testing shows that (at least on Linux) a fd opened with O_PATH will remain pointing at the same *inode* even if it is moved or deleted. So this would avoid the aforementioned TOCTOU problem. -- v2: server: Allow renaming and hardlinking Unix symlinks. server: Allow setting a disposition on Unix symlinks. server: Allow opening Unix symlinks with FILE_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT. server: Separate a open_unix_fd() helper. https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/8688

[PATCH 0/2] MR9748: Draft: msi: Implement MsiProvideAssemblyW().
by Dmitry Timoshkov (＠dmitry) May 7, 2026

May 7, 2026

While bug 58578 depends on MsiProvideAssemblyW() my testing target is SQL Server Express 2012 (bug 42792 has a download URL). I marked this MR as a draft because the implementation doesn't seem to work: MsiProvideComponent() detects feature INSTALLSTATE_ABSENT, MSDN mentions that both MsiProvideAssembly() and MsiProvideComponent() should return ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND in that case, however the installer generates an exception and crashes once this error is returned. The installer calls MsiProvideAssembly() with the application context, however I investigated with Orca the problematic MSI and for the assembly specified in the MsiProvideAssembly() call there's no associated application, so it's not clear how it's supposed to behave in that case. Hans, would you mind looking at this and probably suggest the ways to proceed? -- https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/9748

[PATCH v5 0/2] MR7938: Draft: winemac: Use IOSurface to update native window layers instead of CGImage.
by Marc-Aurel Zent (＠mzent) May 6, 2026

May 6, 2026

This consolidates the two separate `CGImage`s (`colorImage` and `shapeImage`) previously used in `WineContentView` into a single `IOSurface` that also holds the window mask information in its alpha channel now. The alpha channel is now being updated in `macdrv_surface_flush`, whenever the shape changes (and stores that change for the next update, to also keep the front buffer in sync). This reduces the delay from setting a `CGImage` to a layer from 50ms to about 1.5ms in the `IOSurface` case (also accounting for `vImageSelectChannels_ARGB8888` operation). Based on a patch by @bshanks. I am already putting it out for feedback, but I will so some more testing to see how the performance impact of this is and do more exhaustive testing with shaped windows. Ideally the double buffer solution can be avoided as well... Also the `HBITMAP` for the windows is currently backed by a `CGDataProviderRef` and could also become an `IOSurface` I believe. -- v5: winemac: Use IOSurface to update native window layers instead of CGImage. https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/7938

[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
