WineGUI wurde in der Version v4.5.2 veröffentlicht.
WineGUI ist eine benutzerfreundliche grafische Oberfläche zur Verwaltung von Wine unter Linux.
Das Patch-Release behebt die Auswahl des Wine-Runners: Ein in WineGUI gewählter Runner wird samt passendem wineserver nun durchgängig verwendet, auch bei Winetricks und Desktop-Verknüpfungen. Unvollständige eigene Wine-Installationen führen jetzt zu einer Fehlermeldung statt zum stillen Fallback auf das System-Wine.
Patch release fixing Wine runner selection when creating, configuring and launching bottles. A downloaded runner selected in WineGUI is now used consistently together with its matching wineserver, including Winetricks operations and generated shortcuts.
🐛 Consistent Wine runner selection
- Use the selected installation throughout: Bottle creation, Windows version changes, audio and virtual desktop settings, application launches and Winetricks operations now use the bottle’s selected Wine runner and matching wineserver.
- No silent fallback: Incomplete custom Wine installations now produce an explicit error instead of falling back to system Wine. This fixes cases where configuring a 32-bit bottle unexpectedly used a different system Wine installation.
- Safer runner changes: Changing a bottle’s runner checks for running Wine processes before applying the change. Bottle edits also retain the original target bottle throughout the operation.
🔧 Desktop shortcut repairs
- WineGUI automatically refreshes its managed shortcuts when loading bottles so they use the current runner settings.
- Fixed desktop command escaping to preserve literal paths and arguments containing spaces and special characters.
🧪 Regression coverage and release checks
- Expanded tests for runner selection, matching wineserver usage, Winetricks configuration, missing runners and actual desktop shortcut launches.
- Added AppStream metadata validation and APT publisher tests to CI, with improved release-link error handling and retry support.
- Updated download labels to identify compatible distribution series more clearly.
