+ <body>
+ <p>This quarter has seen five updates to the
+ <tt>wine-devel</tt> port that closely tracks upstream
+ development, as well as updates to helper ports
+ (<tt>wine-gecko-devel</tt> and <tt>wine-mono-devel</tt>):</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Stable releases: 1.6.2 (1 port revision)</li>
+ <li>Development releases: 1.7.34 through 1.7.39</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>A major development has been the introduction of Wine64
+ (i.e., the ability to run 64-bit Windows applications). This
+ is currently available through the wine-devel port. At this
+ stage it is currently mutually exclusive with the
+ i386-wine-devel port, however we have plans to intregate these
+ ports to offer a full Wine experience on amd64. The
+ i386-wine-devel port has packages built for amd64 for &os;
+ 8.4, 9.1+, 10.1+ and CURRENT.</p>
+
+ <p>Accomplishments include:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Upstreaming 8 patches to fix Wine on &os; — many
+ thanks to Gerald and David.</li>
+ <li>Optional support for V4L has been added to the stable
+ <tt>emulators/wine</tt> port.</li>
+ <li>Optionally building wine with the X composite extension
+ (if one selects the X11 option).</li>
+ <li>Support for alternative toolchains that require
+ <tt>LD</tt> to be honoured.</li>
+ <li>Fixing and tidying up the pkg-plist.</li>
+ <li>Wine64 support</li>
+ <li>Updating the patch-nvidia.sh script to support
+ arbitary suffixes.</li>
+ <li>Removing support for the old pkg_ tools from
+ patch-nvidia.sh.</li>
+ <li>Developing a patch to fix usage of getdirentries(2).
+ This fixes Steam, EVE Online and other applications.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>We would like to thank all volunteers who contributed
+ feedback and patches.</p>
+
+ <p>Future development on Wine will focus on:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Rename <tt>wine-compholio</tt> to
+ <tt>wine-staging</tt> (to match upstream development).</li>
+ <li>Add the getdirentries(2) patch to the
+ <tt>wine-devel</tt> port.</li>
+ <li>Redevelop and upstream the getdirentries(2) patch.</li>
+ <li>Redevelop and upstream the kernel32 Makefile patch.</li>
+ <li>Add support to the <tt>i386-wine</tt> port for pkg 1.5
+ (conflicts with libraries currently prevent support).</li>
+ <li>Add support for WoW64:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Reduce the <tt>i386-wine</tt> port to just the
+ components required for WoW64.</li>
+ <li>Rename the i386-wine port to wow64.</li>
+ <li>Make the wine ports depend on the wow64 ports when
+ built on amd64.</li>
+ <li>Investigate and verify the interactions between Wine64
+ and WoW64.</li>
+ <li>Investigate possible update approaches for the wow64
+ ports (that have to be pre-compiled) and how updating
+ with the wine ports will work.</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>Maintaining and improving Wine is a major undertaking
+ that directly impacts end-users on &os; (including many
+ gamers). If you are interested in helping, please contact us.
+ We will happily accept patches, suggest areas of focus or have
+ a chat.</p>
