Bottles 65.4 has been released as a hotfix to address a regression that impacted bottle creation after the 65.0 update, affecting users with hybrid Wine and Proton templates. The issue, reported on August 6, made it impossible to set up new prefixes, forcing users to revert to version 64.1. The fix involved a simple logic change in the code that allowed existing templates to function normally again, with the update now available on Flathub. Despite no new features being added, the prompt response from the maintainer highlights the project's active development and commitment to maintaining a user-friendly experience for managing Wine prefixes on Linux

Bottles 65.4 Drops as a Same-Day Hotfix for the Broken Bottle Creation Regression

Mirko Brombin just pushed Bottles 65.4, a single-commit hotfix that restores bottle creation after the 65.0 update broke the flow for users with hybrid Wine and Proton templates. The regression, reported on August 6, blocked anyone trying to set up a new prefix and forced a rollback to version 64.1. The patch simply flips a logic inversion in wine.py and downgrades the accompanying log message from an error to a warning, allowing existing templates to initialize normally without touching your current installations. You can grab the update from Flathub now, with the full diff and issue tracker linked directly from the release page.
