Wine 11.18 with 61 patches. The big one: After Effects renders.

What's new

  • After Effects renders. Adding a comp to the Render Queue used to kill After Effects' main thread (a stack overflow in Wine's Direct2D triangulation while drawing the Render Queue panel), so it looked frozen and aerender failed. Patch 0061 fixes it. Tested with a real 300-layer comp with animated captions: all 1264 frames render, and the checked frames match the Windows render (42.8-68.6 dB PSNR). It renders in 88 s here against 57 s on Windows, and After Effects is still less tested than the other apps.
  • Illustrator PSD and SVG exports use Myriad Pro like on Windows instead of Times New Roman. Adobe's installers create a shared font folder on Windows that was missing under Wine; the launcher now fills it from an installed app.
  • HiDPI: adobewine setup sets Wine's DPI from your desktop's scale, so the apps are no longer tiny on 1.5x/2x screens (--dpi N to choose).
  • Desktop file picker (experimental, WINE_FORCE_PORTAL=1): After Effects' "Format:" list shows its real label.
  • winedbg can attach to processes whose main thread has exited (patch 0062), which is how the After Effects crash was found.

Full list: CHANGELOG.md. Where this is going: docs/ROADMAP.md, comments in discussion #9.

Prebuilt runtime adobewine-0.2.2-x86_64.tar.zst: built on Arch Linux with generic x86-64 flags. It unpacks to /opt/adobewine:

sudo tar -C / -xf adobewine-0.2.2-x86_64.tar.zst
sudo ln -sf /opt/adobewine/bin/adobewine /usr/local/bin/adobewine
adobewine setup

Updating from an earlier version: unpack over the old one, then run adobewine setup once more (that also applies the new DPI setting).

Tested on one machine plus community reports on Linux Mint, Arch/Omarchy and Gentoo. No AMD report yet: if you have an AMD GPU, even "it starts and crashes" helps (adobewine report, or the compatibility report template).

No Adobe software is included, and nothing touches licensing.
