Travels

Folks, Just a heads up that I'm going to be traveling for the next 3 weeks. I'm still going to review and commit MRs, but on a somewhat irregular schedule. Also there won't be a new release during that time, so Wine 10.13 will be out on August 15. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Upcoming vkd3d 1.17 release
by Henri Verbeet 17 Jul '25

17 Jul '25

Hi all, The planned release date for vkd3d 1.17 is Thursday August 21. That means the public API will become frozen a week from now on July 24, and features will be frozen two weeks before the release, on August 7. This does not mean that development should slow down or stop, of course; after making sure that we're in good shape to release, this would be the ideal time to make sure any larger features are ready to get merged at the start of the next development cycle. As usual, if you're an upstream vkd3d developer, please do the following: - Keep an eye on Bugzilla for any reported regressions. - Review any API changes since the previous release. - Verify that all vkd3d tests pass on your hardware/setup, and please send fixes if they don't. - Review and improve the documentation. - Get any larger features ready to get merged at the start of the next development cycle. If you're a downstream user of vkd3d, please test your applications for any regressions, and file bug reports if you find any. The planned release date for vkd3d 1.18 is November 20. A tentative release schedule for future releases can be found on the vkd3d wiki[1]. Regards, Henri [1] https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/vkd3d/-/wikis/release-schedule

How to use AddressSanitizer with Wine?
by Alex Henrie 13 Jul '25

13 Jul '25

Dear oenologists, I would like to use GCC's AddressSanitizer [1] to investigate a memory corruption bug in Wine. There must be a way to do it because I see multiple references to "ASan" in the Wine commit log in commits from this year.[2] I found some instructions on the WineHQ wiki,[3] but I get a myriad of linker errors when I try to follow them. What Linux distributions can successfully compile Wine with libasan? Are there special steps not mentioned in the wiki? Does AddressSanitizer work with MinGW, or only with non-PE builds? I'd love to get AddressSanitizer working myself, but even if I can't, thanks to Bernhard and Nikolay for using it to fix a lot of bugs already. -Alex [1] https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizer [2] https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/commits/master?search=ASan [3] https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/wikis/Building-Wine#memory--address-c…

Add option to winebuild to disable ASLR/dynamicbase
by Tres Finocchiaro 09 Jul '25

09 Jul '25

Hi, I'm a maintainer of LMMS and we use a wine bridge for loading 32-bit and 64-bit VST plugins into the Linux version of our software. We've recently updated our build tools and noticed that some of our older 64-bit VSTs fail to load. After a lot of back and forth, we've isolated the issue to the following wine commit: > Commit 518e394 julliard committed on Sep 25, 2023 > winebuild: Set ASLR-related dll flags by default. > https://github.com/wine-mirror/wine/commit/518e394794160818ffe6826c874ff2f5… One of our developers has proposed a patch which reverts this behavior here: https://github.com/Fastigium/winebuild/commit/7f9e27e44cfb8eba79f3850f46e12… My questions are as follows: 1. Would winehq be receptive to a winebuild flag that allows the old behavior? 2. If acceptable, would you prefer LMMS author this patch, or is this change trivial enough/small enough that the winehq team would prefer to tackle it themselves? 3. Lastly, quoting a past mailing list convo, should we be doing our wine bridge differently? Currently we build RemovePluginVst64.so.exe. "[...] I don't think we have any plans to deliberately break the old all-in-one .dll.so binaries. It is quite likely that this functionality will bitrot over time though. Also the functionality that the PE/unix split was introduced for won't be available that way [...]" Source: https://list.winehq.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/wine-devel@winehq.org/mess… Thanks kindly for your time, -Tres - Tres.Finocchiaro(a)gmail.com
