Wine 10.0

Wine 是一套在 macOS 上運作 Windows 應用程式的相容層，核心價值在於讓 Mac 使用者直接執行 Windows 軟體，不必安裝 Windows 作業系統，也不需要額外的授權金鑰。它涵蓋的應用範圍很廣，從遊戲到生產力工具都有機會跑得起來，對不熟悉虛擬機操作的人來說，門檻相對低。這套軟體由 Wine Team 長期維護，在開發者工具分類中屬於熱門選擇，評價人數不算多但整體評價普遍不錯，近一年仍有更新，開發步調穩定。

Wine 適合偶爾需要跑 Windows 專用軟體、但不想為此安裝完整虛擬機或雙系統的 Mac 使用者。與 Parallels Desktop 這類商業虛擬機相比，Wine 完全免費且輕量，但相容性並非百分之百，某些軟體可能無法正常運作，需要自行調整設定；而 WineBottler 則是把 Wine 包裝成更易用的圖形介面，適合不想碰指令的人。要注意的是，Wine 僅提供英文介面，且官方版本只支援 macOS 平台，使用前最好先確認目標軟體在 Wine 的相容性資料庫中是否有前例可循。

Wine for Mac 是一個高度可靠的相容層，讓使用者能夠直接在 macOS 硬體上執行完整的 Windows 應用程式。

它讓各種技術程度的 Mac 使用者都能執行廣泛的 Windows 軟體，包括遊戲、生產力應用程式等，而且不需要安裝 Windows 作業系統，甚至不需要有效的 Windows 授權金鑰！

注意：CrossOver 是 CodeWeavers 提供的 Wine 精緻版本。

憑藉三十年來在 Linux 和 macOS 環境中提供安全穩定 Windows 硬體模擬的歷史，這款應用程式如今能輕鬆地將 Windows API 呼叫及相關依賴轉換為原生 Mac 處理，即使在資源受限的筆電上也能順暢執行。

這款軟體也是許多其他模擬器的基礎，為各種易於使用的 Windows 應用程式和模擬器提供後端服務，例如WineBottler、PlayOnMac、DOSBox 等。

如今，Wine 對數百萬 Mac 使用者的日常工作流程有重大影響，它提供了順暢的途徑來執行 macOS 原生沒有的 Windows 應用程式，大幅擴展了 Mac 使用者的軟體選擇。

因此，建議新手使用者透過提供的文件和大量的線上教學來了解應用程式的功能。

經驗豐富的使用者則可以輕鬆專注於設定配置、管理已安裝的應用程式，以及啟動 Windows 軟體。

• Bundled vkd3d upgraded to version 1.11.
• Initial OpenGL support in the Wayland driver.
• Support for elevating process privileges.
• More HID pointer improvements.
• Various bug fixes.

Change log

• All transitions from Windows to Unix code now pass through the NT syscall interface, marking a significant milestone in the multi-year effort to re-architect modules into PE format and establish a clear boundary between the Windows and Unix environments.
• An experimental Wayland graphics driver is underway, featuring basic window management, multi-monitor support, high-DPI scaling, relative motion events, and Vulkan compatibility, though still in development.
• With the completion of the PE/Unix separation, existing Windows binaries can now be run on ARM64 platforms.
• The loader now accommodates ARM64X and ARM64EC modules.
• Initial support is available for building Wine for the ARM64EC architecture using an experimental LLVM toolchain. Once ready, this toolchain will facilitate a proper ARM64X build and enable 64-bit x86 emulation.
• The PostScript driver has been reimagined to operate from Windows-format spool files, eliminating direct calls from the Unix side.
• WinRT theming introduces a dark theme option with a corresponding toggle in WineCfg.
• The Vulkan driver now supports up to version 1.3.272 of the Vulkan spec.
• Several GdiPlus functions have been optimized for enhanced graphics performance.
• The multi-threaded command stream now employs sleep instead of spinning when idle, reducing power consumption for programs not fully utilizing the command stream's bandwidth.
• Direct3D 10 effects now support a wider array of instructions.
• Foundational work has been laid for several DirectMusic modules, with numerous tests added to validate the behavior of the dmime sequencer and dmsynth MIDI synthesizer.
• Implementation for DLS1 and DLS2 sound font loading, as well as SF2 format compatibility for Linux standard MIDI sound fonts, is now available.
• MIDI playback is now supported in dmsynth, incorporating the software synthesizer from the FluidSynth library and utilizing DirectSound for audio output.
• Doppler shift functionality has been integrated into DirectSound.
• The Indeo IV50 Video for Windows decoder has been implemented.
• DirectInput action maps have been implemented, enhancing compatibility with older games that rely on this feature to map controller inputs to in-game actions.
• The default Windows version for new prefixes has been set to Windows 10.
