Summary since last release
* Rebased to current wine 8.2  (531 patches are applied to wine vanilla)

The patchinstall.sh script is no longer available and users should use 
the staging/patchinstall.py instead.

For those that wanted to use ODBC in windows applications, this is the 
release for you.

For those using ADO to connect to a dababase via ODBC, you will still 
need to use the native version of msado15 and msdasql.  Through some of 
the bugs have been identified and fixed in this wine release there is 
still more work to be done.

Some cavets on the ODBC support
* Only the Unicode drivers for MySql/PostgreSQL were tested.
* Not all functions have been mapped, so lodge a bug if something is 
missing.

Developers.
If anybody has time to have a look over or reivew the patchset, that 
would be great.  Don't be scared of the 43 patches, most of them are 
calls into the loaded driver (boiler plate stuff).

Users.
If you are a user of unixODBC with wine, it would be great if you could 
post on bug 54499, the database used or if you prefer to use the 
standard windows driver.

Known issues.
* Using SQLDriverConnectW to connect to an ANSI ODBC driver will fail 
(works on windows).
* The Driver DLL is possible loaded multiple times (Should have map of 
driver/function table).


Upstreamed (Either directly from staging or fixed with a similar patch).
* None

Added:
* [52233] Black NPC's skin or minor rendering glitches in multiple games 
(Batman: Arkham Knight, Steel Division: Normandy 44)
* [48220] dxruby needs WAVE form loading implemented
* [45135] Black Rockman Shooter has no sound, implementation missing in 
dmime
* [34751] Aura: Fate of the Ages: sounds aren't played, but music works fine
* [9027]  No sound for rise of nations - all versions
* [54499] Native ODBC drivers should be able be used.

Updated:
* Install scripts updated to Python 3
* winex11-Fixed-scancodes (was winex11-key_translation)
* ntdll-NtDevicePath
* ntdll-Junction_Points


Where can you help
* Run Steam/Battle.net/GOG/UPlay/Epic
* Test your favorite game.
* Test your favorite applications.
* Improve staging patches and get them accepted upstream.
* Suggest patches to be included in staging.

As always, if you find a bug, please report it via

Best Regards
  Alistair.
