Wine 11.12 Released With Wayland Fractional Scaling & Other Wayland Enhancements

Written by Michael Larabel in WINE on 29 June 2026 at 05:05 PM EDT. 18 Comments

Wine 11.12 fell off the bi-weekly release rhythm with not making it out last Friday, but it managed to ship today. Wine 11.12 brings fractional scaling support to its Wayland driver and various other enhancements.

Merged following the Wine 11.11 release, an exciting feature of Wine 11.12 is Wayland fractional scaling support for a nicer UI scaling experience rather than going through X11/XWayland with today's high resolution/density displays. This level of support also allows for users to have different fractional scales per display.

The Wine Wayland driver for Wine 11.12 also brings some fixes like making sure the primary monitor rect is at 0x0, name assignment to the WineWayland queue, and usage of the process_name in wl_display_create_queue_with_name for debugging.

Wine 11.12 is also now bundling the libswresample and libswscale libraries from the FFmpeg project, updated the Mono engine against Mono 11.2, and the XSLPattern parser has been re-implemented in MSXML.

There are 27 known bug fixes in Wine 11.12 helping out various Corel product installers, graphics problems, Microsoft Office 2007, and various other game and app fixes. There is even a Microsoft Money 97 crash fix in Wine 11.12 as well as fixing a bug report from 2009 over Slingplayer video tuning wizard failing.

Wine 11.12 downloads and more details on this development snapshot in the road to Wine 12.0 via WineHQ.org.
