WINE -- Wine 6.22 is out as the latest bi-weekly development release of this open-source software for running Windows games and applications on Linux and other platforms like macOS and FreeBSD. Wine 6.22 brings more improvements while the Wine 7.0 stable release is inching closer.

We'll likely see the freeze begin in December for Wine 7.0. In fact, last year at this time down to the very week after Wine 5.22 the Wine 6.0 release preparations began in working towards its January release. The same dance will likely begin soon for Wine 7.0.

Wine 6.22 out today the Mono implementation has been updated against Mono 7.0, there is continued work on the HID joystick support, some PowerPC code has been removed, exception unwinding support on ARM< WoW64 thunks added for more libraries, and starting on the USER32 to Win32u migration.
- Exception unwinding on ARM.
- More improvements to HID joystick support.
- WoW64 thunks in a number of Unix libraries.
- Beginnings of moving USER32 to Win32u.
- Various bug fixes.

Among the fixes in Wine 6.22 are for a variety of games and applications, including Resident Evil 6, Autodesk Fusion 360, Empire Earth 2, Monkey Island 2, Diablo 3, and other software.

More details in the Wine 6.22 announcement on WineHQ.org.

At the risk of getting myself in way over my head, does this new version of WINE deal with the prior bug(s) that we have been warned about regarding using Windows plugins via it?

I am about to give WINE a go & would hate to miss out on something new IF it works

I think you should get familiar with a stable wine-staging 6.2, get most of your win items working there, as provided in the default AVLinux, then install
Ubuntu Studio on and external drive, and add the new wine versions there as they appear. Low risk, high reward.

If you get a lucky wine combo there, freeze it and use it without further updates, and let another external device repeat the process, perhaps focussing on getting a pipewire system stabilized.
Cheers
