Wine 9.22 Enables Wayland Driver By Default


Wine 9.22 is out this weekend ahead of the Wine 10.0-rc1 in two weeks.

This is great news and for allowing more Windows games/apps to integrate nicely with the modern Wayland-based Linux desktops rather than continuing to go through XWayland. The Wine Wayland driver is largely in good shape over lots of work that has landed over the past year. Wine 9.22 also updates its locale data to Unicode CLDR 46, expands network session support in DirectPlay, and ships with 19 known bug fixes.
