Can anyone offer a status update on D3D command stream multithreading?
I've been packaging Stefan Dösinger's CSMT work, with over 500 people using my last release, and several asking when I'll build a new one. I don't know what to tell them, because his github repo hasn't been updated in half a year, and he hasn't responded to the email I sent him last week. It's starting to look like this excellent work has been abandoned.
Pherhaps I missed an announcement? Has it already been integrated into mainline wine? Is there some other plan for it?

I am wondering about that myself. Nevertheless, in order to provide up-to-date Wine builds you can use the CSMT patches contained in Wine-Staging. We're not actively improving them at the moment, but they are rebased daily to apply on top of the upstream changes. So far the rebasing was basically trivial, so no idea what is currently blocking inclusion of the patchset.

It's being worked on, although it's not progressing as quickly as we would perhaps have liked. The patch set hasn't been abandoned.
Please understand that at the moment all of Wine's Direct3D code is being maintained by about 3 people, unfortunately with very little outside help. Quite frankly, CodeWeavers would be willing to hire people to increase that number, but there seem to be very few qualified candidates.

I happen to know Stefan wasn't reading e-mail for most of last week, so in that regard it was just a case of unfortunate timing.

Yeah. I've seen the mail but not responded because I've been kinda-sorta on vacation and because I don't really like private mails for things like these.
I haven't abandoned the patchset, but admittedly I've been lazy in pushing rebased updates. I haven't done much improvements to the patches besides rebasing them though.
