Hello!
Wine 4.8 started offering the ability to compile parts of itself as Windows binaries instead of Linux binaries but Fedora had not followed suit. This is changing. The Fedora Wine 4.10 update will switch to use MinGW to compile those Windows binaries. This will keep Fedora mostly in line with upstream.
Please provide karma feedback on the following updates. I'd like to see how it reacts to a large user base.
Fedora 29 https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-8cfdc622bd
Fedora 30 https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-c647a11e46
Thanks, Michael

Wine Staging or regular Wine?
Fedora packages wine-staging.
Good. My experience is that Wine Staging is that it is a better product and the developers are a zillion times more responsive to bugs
Can 4.10 be run parallel to the old one?

Hi Michael,
I just loaded Staging 4.10.1. Lotus Approach, where I have a lot of problems seems to be behaving much better.
The first thing I noticed was that single line text fields on forms no longer have their cursor in the wrong spot (I would back space and delete a character two before the cursor). Highlighted test in these lines also correctly lines up.
Word Pro still have the issue where xxxx @ yyyyy 1 of X you have to backspace of mouse to move to the farthest left x. The cursor will only give your the second to the farthest Left.
So far, I really like 4.10
Do you want further updates as I find them?

Hi Michael,
No symptom change on Knox Remote Manage blur ball: https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=32554&p=123180#p123180
So far it is a win or a draw, but no lose.
