# [30969] : Tron 2.0 Background music

# [32896] : Serious Sam: The Random Encounter


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:
