Move from the Wine 6.0 to the Wine 7.0 release series, specifically
(still) Wine 7.0 there.
This represents a year of development effort and over 9,100 individual
changes. It contains a large number of improvements. Areas of major
changes are:
- Most modules have been converted to PE format.
- Better theming support, with a bundled theme for a more modern look.
All builtin applications support theming, as well as High DPI rendering.
- Vastly improved HID stack and joystick support.
- New WoW64 architecture (which supports running a 32-bit Windows
application inside a 64-bit Unix host process, using thunks to map
32-bit NT system calls to the 64-bit NTDLL).
- Direct3D has seen significant improvements.
Specifically on FreeBSD more low-level system information queries like
memory and battery status are now supported. And we no longer need to
refer to /proc and procfs in our installation message.
The Mono engine is now at version 7.0.0 with quite some changes,
Packaging changes come on two levels: Firstly, many support libraries
such as FAudio, GSM, LCMS2, libjpeg, libjxr, libmpg123, libpng, libtiff,
libxml, libxslt, zlib are now directly bundled in where we used many
of those via other ports (or completely disabled their use). On the way
we shed the LIBXSLT and MPG123 options.
Secondly, the directory structure under lib/ has been completely revamped.
Update MASTER_SITES to the new winehq.org download site.
