Wine 10.0rc1 planned release?

[oscarbg]

Hi,
mainly for two reasons:
*DXMT fixes (winemac.drv) not shipped in Wine 9.21 builds (like staging)..
*VKD3D 1.4 with new Metal shader backend (https://www.phoronix.com/news/VKD3D-1.14-Released)
third reason:
up to Vulkan 1.4 support (for testing on Lavapipe vk 1.4 driver)..
thanks..

Experimental support for Metal Shading Language (MSL) output, enabled by building vkd3d with the ‘-DVKD3D_SHADER_UNSUPPORTED_MSL’ preprocessor option. The current release is only able to compile the most basic shaders when targetting MSL. Being an experimental feature, both the ABI and API may change in future releases; the feature may even go away completely. Nevertheless, we hope our users find this feature useful, and welcome feedback and contributions.

The option wouldn’t be enabled by default, I personally wouldn’t be enabling this during builds as it’ll cause my headaches then anything.

ok, no problem.. ideally it could be built with MSL support and then via some env variable disable/enable at runtime..
don't know if possible currently.. but should be good..

According to the VKD3D release notes it needs to be enabled at built time, then I’d need to build wine against that custom built copy of VKD3D.
