The Wine development release 10.1 is now available

What's new in this release:

• A wide range of changes that were deferred during code freeze.
• Root certificates fixes for Battle.net.
• Print Provider improvements.
• More progress on the Bluetooth driver.
• Various bug fixes.

I've been searching for three days and can't find any details to what this environmental variable does. Their have been issues for some people with Battle Net and I've seen people say to add WINE_SIMULATE_WRITECOPY. What does this variable do?

With the .wine prefix I use currently, anytime I try to load Flash Player, it only gives a black screen, the unctions work but nothing displays, relevant for Flashpoint.

This is the error I get "00ac:err:winediag:WSASocketW Failed to create a socket of type SOCK_RAW, this requires special permissions."

This does NOT happen if I make a new wine prefix, but I have no idea what could have broken it before, especially since it didn't always do that, searches didn't lead me anywhere so I'm not sure if there's something that needs fixing short of "nuke the prefix and start over"

Current version is Wine staging 8.12

Here is what I don't get about Wine. Even in 2023 it seems to fail to handle basic Windows software written in 1996-1995 like the classic convert.exe (https://joshmadison.com/convert-for-windows/). This program and others run flawless in ReactOS for instance, why not under Wine?

Another things I don't get include:

• Why is Wine is still stuck on that Windows 98 style GUI instead of a more modern thing;
• Flickering;
• How can ReactOS, that shares code with Wine, run everything way more smoothly?

For reference I'm using Debian 12, Wine 8.0. Also tried with Soda 7.0, same results.
