Similar to past 1.9.x releases, Wine 1.9.15 has continued working on its Direct3D implementation with more shader instructions now being supported by this latest update. Aside from that, there are GDI performance improvements, better multi-joystick support when running on OS X, Active Scripting improvements, additional stream support for the C++ run-time, and a total of 22 known bug-fixes.
