Wine 1.7.30 Continues Work On DirectWrite & Offers Regedit Fixes
The newest release, Wine 1.7.30, still lacks the Direct3D command stream multi-threading work or any breakthroughs in better Direct3D 10/11 support, but it continues working on Wine's recent focus of DirectWrite support, a text layout and glyph rendering API with hardware aceleration that began in the Windows 7 days to replace their GDI(+) interface.
The main changes over the past two weeks for Wine 1.7.30 include:
- More support for fonts in DirectWrite.
- Improved ATL thunk support.
- A few more C runtime functions.
