- The new WoW64 mode is not yet enabled by default. It can be enabled by
passing
the `--enable-archs=i386,x86_64` option to configure. This is expected to
work
for most applications, but there are still some limitations, in
particular:
- Lack of support for 16-bit code.
- Reduced OpenGL performance on Linux due to extra buffer copies.
It's not just severely reduced performance; it also prevents us from exposing ARB_buffer_storage entirely, which in turn means we can't support 4.4 (and I know there are applications that depend on that).
Also missing are thunks for opencl, winscard, and odbc32, and capi2032. I suppose these were deemed not worth mentioning?
- The Indeo IV50 codec is implemented.
Specifically, the Video for Windows decoder. [IV50 support was already available through winegstreamer when using other APIs.]
- Direct Input action maps are implemented, improving compatibility with
many
