WineGUI: version 4.5.1 released

WineGUI has been released in version v4.5.1.

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

Just one day after version 4.5.0, which introduced the per-bottle CPU core limit, a small patch release follows. Applications with a CPU limit are once again launched through the regular wine start command, which taskset now simply wraps. The direct-launch path and its custom path quoting introduced in 4.5.0 have been removed.

Small patch release after v4.5.0 which introduced CPU core limit to each bottle and still works with taskset.

⚡ Simplified Wine Launch Mechanics & CPU Limiting

  • Restored wine start execution path: Applications launched with CPU core limits now consistently use Wine’s standard start / start /unix command wrapper rather than direct launching.
  • Simplified execution pipeline: Removed custom executable path quoting logic (quote_application_executable) and direct-launch mechanics in favor of standard Wine launch routines.
  • Clean taskset integration: CPU core restrictions via taskset now wrap the standard wine start process cleanly without altering launch parameters or path handling.
