WineGUI: version 4.2.0 released

WineGUI has been released in version v4.2.0.

WineGUI is a user-friendly graphical manager for Wine on Linux.

The Wine runner window now also shows previously hidden builds without their own category, such as NTSync, FSync, and release-candidate builds by Kron4ek - 39 additional builds are now installable. The update also fixes several bugs around crashes, hanging downloads, and broken machine configurations.

✨ New features

  • Wine Other Builds — the Wine runner window now also lists every build variant without a category of its own, such as the NTSync, FSync and release candidate builds by Kron4ek. These were fetched before, but never shown; 39 additional builds became installable

šŸ› Bug fixes

  • Fixed a crash caused by a leftover temporary directory with a malformed name in the Wine runners folder
  • Fixed the interface freezing for the duration of a download, when a new runner operation was started at just the wrong moment
  • Fixed WineGUI hanging on exit while a release list was being fetched or an archive was being extracted; both can now be interrupted
  • Fixed two WineGUI instances removing each other’s in-progress runner downloads
  • Fixed a failed download being reported as successful when waiting for the download process failed
  • Fixed a missing UseWine64 setting discarding the whole machine configuration, including its name, description, environment variables and application list

⚔ Improvements

  • Selecting a machine is faster — the Wine version of every installed runner is now remembered, instead of starting a Wine process on each click
  • You are now warned when a Wine runner could not be verified, because that release publishes no checksum
  • Extra safety guards and unit tests around removing an installed Wine runner
