Wine 1.8.3 is now the latest stable version of this open-source software for running Windows programs and games on Linux and other operating systems.

As usual for Wine stable point releases, the update is mostly about bug-fixing. Wine 1.8.3 has a total of 54 known bug-fixes for this version. In addition to the bug fixes, a number of NVIDIA graphics cards were added to Wine's GPU description table. There have also been updates to the National Language Support files.

More details on Wine 1.8.3 can be found via WineHQ.org. Meanwhile, all of the exciting new feature development continues to be in the Wine 1.9 unstable series for its premiere in Wine 1.10 late in the year.
