It should probably be noted that this is not supported for 32-bit Windows applications despite Wine providing a 32-bit winscard.dll.
It is supported for 32-bit applications but currently only in the new Wow64 setup.
And since no one will use that mode the release notes should note that this is not supported in pure 32-bit Wine and for 32-bit applications running in the default old WoW64 mode that every Linux distribution will ship.
Arch is already offering new-style wow64 packages and macOS users have no choice.
Not being use-able in pure 32-bit Wine sounds pretty bad, I hope it doesn't become a trend.
I don't believee there are many users stuck on pure 32-bit Wine that also need winscard support. Note that it was never usable when pure 32-bit Wine was still the norm. Adding support isn't free unfortunately and I don't think that passing the tests is sufficient reason to pay that cost. I'd rather wait and see if there's real interest.
