Wine 8.21 Released With HiDPI Scaling and Initial Vulkan Code For The Wayland Driver

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The Vulkan support isn't yet fully usable but is working on getting all the pieces in order and will be interesting to see what more squeezes into the Wine Wayland driver prior to the code freeze for Wine 9.0.

Collabora's Alexandros Frantzis is doing a great job on the Wine Wayland driver and getting all of the pieces upstream.

HiDPI is certainly important with today's displays and the Vulkan support is important for modern Windows games expected to work with Wine on Wayland.

This Wine 8.21 state of ARM64EC is just the very early start of eyeing support for this functionality.

Wine 8.21 also has updates to the locale database and around 29 known bug fixes.
