Wine Staging 11.16 Adds AF_UNIX Socket Support and Shader Improvements
Wine Staging 11.16 has arrived, tracked to upstream Wine's 11.16 development branch and released by maintainer Alistair Leslie-Hughes. The release's centerpiece is the new ws2_32-af_unix patchset, which finally brings AF_UNIX socket support for local inter-process communication, replacing the obsolete wintrust-WTHelperGetProvCertFromChain patch. On the graphics front, six vkd3d-latest commits introduce HLSL shader codegen enhancements and IR optimizations, complemented by a rebase of upstream fixes for X11 rendering, Kerberos auth, and kernel-mode transitions. This update expands the 383-category patchset to better support Linux services like D-Bus, Wayland compositors, and database clients that depend on Unix domain sockets.
