The Wine development team has announced the release and immediate availability for download of the Wine 1.9.13 snapshot towards Wine 2.0.

Wine 1.9.13 arrives today two weeks after the release of the Wine 1.9.12 development version to bring a new version of the Gecko engine based on the Mozilla Firefox 47.0 web browser, more Shader Model 5 support in Direct3D, brand-new Unicode 9.0.0 support, as well as more improvements to the Joystick support for Mac OS X systems.

Additionally, Wine 1.9.13 ships with several improvements to GDI metafiles and paths. It also looks like the Wine developers have managed to add more features to the Direct3D command stream. Of course, most of the bugs reported by users since the Wine 1.9.12 release have been addressed, which means that more Windows apps and games are supported.
