-Viliam Lejcik (1):
-      kernel32/nls: Regional settings translation for Czech and Slovak.
+- Fixed function vertex blending is implemented. This requires GLSL support.
+
+- Per-vertex point sizes are supported. This requires GLSL support.
+
+- The wined3d graphics card database recognizes more graphics
+  cards. The graphics card detection code is simplified and
+  improved. More reasonable fallbacks are picked for unrecognized
+  graphics cards.
+
+- On drivers that support it, GL_ARB_texture_mirror_clamp_to_edge or
+  GL_EXT_texture_mirror_clamp are used to implement the "mirror once"
+  texture addressing mode. Previously this required
+  GL_ATI_texture_mirror_once.
+
+- GL_ARB_depth_clamp is no longer required to correctly draw pre-transformed
+  vertices with disabled z-buffering. This helps older graphics cards that
+  can't correctly implement GL_ARB_depth_clamp.
+
+- On drivers that support it, GL_ARB_blend_func_extended is used to
+  implement the D3DBLEND_SRCALPHASAT blend factor.
+
+- On drivers that support it, GL_ARB_sampler_objects is used to apply
+  sampler states independently of the texture object they apply
+  to. This helps applications that bind the same texture to multiple
+  texture stages, but with different sampler states.
+
+- On drivers that support it, GL_EXT_texture_snorm is used to support
+  signed (normalized) texture formats. These are typically used for
+  bump mapping. Previously these formats required either
+  GL_NV_texture_shader, or fixups when loading and using them.
+
+- On drivers that support is, GL_ARB_timer_query is used to support
+  Direct3D 9 timestamp queries.
+
+- Texture format restrictions are more strictly enforced. This allows
+  applications to fall back to a different format instead of continuing with
+  broken rendering.
+
+- Direct3D 9 D3DTSS_CONSTANT texture stage constants are supported.
+
+- Color keyed blits can be done by the graphics card. Previously these
+  needed to be done by the CPU.
+
+- NV12 surfaces are supported. This is used by some applications for
+  playing back video.
+
+- ATI1N textures and surfaces are supported, in addition to ATI2N
+  textures and surfaces. This requires support for
+  GL_ARB_texture_compression_rgtc from the OpenGL driver.
+
+- When GLSL is supported, lighting for Direct3D 1-3 is more
+  correct. However, for most application the difference will only be
+  very slight.
+
+- The IDirect3DSwapChain9Ex interface is supported.
+
+- OpenGL core contexts, OpenGL ES contexts, and multi-threaded OpenGL
+  command submission (known as "CSMT") have been added, however that
+  work is not finished yet.
+
+
+*** DirectDraw
+
+- SetCooperativeLevel() works better, affecting DirectDraw exclusive
+  mode in particular.
+
+- DirectDraw surface flipping is more correct. This affects applications that
+  use more than 1 back buffer in particular.
+
+- DirectDraw palette handling is better supported. This mostly affects
+  older applications using 8-bpp display modes (but not exclusively.)
+
+- "Client memory" surfaces are better supported, in particular related
+  to the handling of pitch and texture compression.
+
+
+*** Audio and video
+
+- A Pulse Audio driver is implemented. It is selected automatically
+  when Pulse Audio is running.
+
+- 5.1 surround sound is supported in DirectSound. Stereo is the
+  default, but other speaker configurations can be set through the
+  Audio tab in Winecfg.
+
+- XAudio2 is implemented, based on the OpenAL Soft library.
+
+- The OpenAL library defaults to the native version.
+
+- The Video Mixing Renderer version 7 is implemented.
+
+- AVI file encoding and compression is implemented.
+
+
+*** Kernel
+
+- Wine can be configured to report the Windows version as 'Windows
+  8.1' and 'Windows 10'.
+
+- Keyed event synchronization objects are implemented.
+
+- The "init once" synchronization mechanism is supported.
+
+- Condition variables are implemented.
+
+- Slim Reader/Writer locks are implemented.
+
+- Activation contexts are used for loading DLLs, type libraries, and
+  COM classes, avoiding the need for explicit registration.
+
+- Windows devices support read and write operations in addition to I/O
+  controls. They can be remapped directly to existing Unix devices.
+
+- Thread local storage is supported in dynamically loaded libraries.
+
+- Process jobs are implemented.
+
+- The Task Scheduler service is implemented.
+
+- The UTF-7 encoding is supported.
+
+- ATL thunk emulation supports a wider range of possible instructions.
+
+- Process and thread affinity is supported even with a large number of
+  processors.
+
+- Dynamic DST (Daylight Saving Time) is supported through the
+  registry. Timezone data is updated for a number of timezones.
+
+- USER_SHARED_DATA access is emulated on x86-64 platforms.
+
+- The new thread pool API is supported.
+
+- OpenMP (parallel programming API) is implemented.
+
+- Preliminary support for HID devices is implemented, but it's not
+  enabled yet.
+
+
+*** User interface
+
+- There is an optional Start Menu in desktop mode, that can be enabled
+  on a per-desktop basis by setting "EnableShell" to "Y" under
+  HKCU\Software\Wine\Explorer\Desktops\<name>.
+
+- The standard Open File dialog supports a drop-down menu for file
+  manipulations.
+
+- The 'My Documents' folder links to the XDG or Mac OS X 'Documents'
+  folder if it exists.
+
+- Many more shell Known Folders are supported.
+
+- Scrollbar theming is implemented. Theming of other controls also
+  works better.
+
+- The Toolbar common control can save and restore its state.
+
+
+*** Mac OS X support
+
+- The 64-bit architecture is supported on Mac OS X; however, it's not
+  100% compatible with Win64, because of the OS X non-standard 64-bit
+  ABI.
+
+- Memory size is reported accurately on Mac OS X.
+
+- Joysticks are supported at the WinMM level on Mac OS X.
+
+- Debugging information and stack unwinding are improved on Mac OS X.
+
+- Trash folder enumeration is supported on Mac OS X.
+
+- All mouse events are supported in the system tray with the Mac driver.
+
+- Window maximization is supported in the Mac driver.
+
+- The Cocoa-style full-screen mode is supported in the Mac driver.
+
+- Multiple keyboard layouts are supported in the Mac driver.
+
+
+*** X11 driver
+
+- X Drag & Drop protocol version 5 is supported.
+
+- Flashing a window caption is implemented in the X11 driver using the
+  NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION style.
+
+
+*** OLE / COM
+
+- OLE Storage files support file locking, and sizes larger than 4 GB.
+
+- Type libraries are registered correctly on 64-bit setups.
+
+- 32-bit type libraries can be loaded from 64-bit programs.
+
+- The OLE data cache supports DIB images.
+
+- The RPC interface to control Windows services is compatible with the
+  native version.
+
+- OLE Accessible Objects are implemented for better accessibility support.
+
+
+*** Internet and networking
+
+- The Gecko engine is updated to the version from Firefox 40. Many
+  more objects and properties are implemented in MSHTML.
+
+- Internet proxies can be configured automatically.
+
+- RPC over HTTP supports the NTLM and Negotiate authentication
+  schemes.
+
+- The Web Services API is partially implemented.
+
+- Download of Gecko and Mono add-ons can be canceled from the
+  progress dialog.
+
+- Conditional compilation is supported in JavaScript.
+
+- Arrays, math functions, and exception unwinding are implemented in
+  VBScript.
+
+- Remote network shares can be configured using Samba's NetAPI library.
+
+- The Packet Capture DLL is implemented.
+
+- Network interface change notifications are implemented.
+
+- IPv6 DNS addresses are supported in IphlpAPI.
+
+- The Deflate content encoding is supported in Wininet.
+
+- The TransmitFile API is implemented in Windows Sockets.
+
+- The BITS file transfer service is better supported.
+
+
+*** Printing
+
+- Vertical text is supported when printing through the PostScript driver.
+
+- The PostScript driver generates standard glyph names when possible.
+
+- Monochrome printers are better supported, in particular when
+  printing color images.
+
+- Collation is supported in the PostScript driver.
+
+
+*** Miscellaneous
+
+- Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) implements several more
+  WBEM system classes.
+
+- Applying installation patches is better supported in MSI.
+
+- Hyperlink controls are supported in installers.
+
+- More recent versions of the C/C++ runtimes are supported, including
+  the new UCRTBASE library. The old MSVCIRT C++ runtime is also
+  partially implemented.
+
+- Version 9, 10, and 11 of ATL (Active Template Library) are
+  implemented.
+
+- The Windows Scripting Runtime supports many more classes, including
+  file and folder collections and dictionaries.
+
+- Writing XML files is implemented.
+
+- The Invariant locale is supported.
+
+
+*** Built-in applications
+
+- The 'taskmgr' application displays whether processes are running
+  under WoW64.
+
+- The 'regedit' tool better supports import/export of registry files.
+
+- The 'wineconsole' tool supports configuring the insert/overwrite
+  mode in the settings dialog.
+
+
+*** Platform-specific changes
+
+- System and hardware information is properly reported on ARM
+  platforms.
+
+- WoW64 mode is supported for the ARM64 platform.
+
+- The 64-bit architecture is supported on Android.
+
+- Binaries are built as PIE on Android, for compatibility with Android
+  version 5.
+
+
+*** Build environment
+
+- Source files can be shared across DLLs, to allow building multiple
+  versions of a DLL from the same source. This is more compatible than
+  forwarding calls to a single master DLL. It's used mainly for the
+  C/C++ runtime libraries.
+
+- #pragma directives are supported in various source files to specify
+  dependencies, for more accurate makefile generation.
+
+- The IDL compiler supports WinRT namespaces.
+
+- The message compiler uses mo files instead of po files for faster
+  processing.
+
+- Architecture-specific compile flags like -march= are supported in
+  Winegcc and passed along to the assembler.
+
+
+*** New external dependencies
+
+- liblcms2 is used instead of liblcms version 1.
+
+- libnetapi from Samba is used for configuring remote network shares.
+
+- libpcap is used to implement the Packet Capture DLL.
+
+- libpulse is used by the Pulse Audio driver.
+
+- The OpenAL Soft library is used to implement XAudio2.
+
+- The prelink tool is no longer necessary as long as the linker
+  supports the -Ttext-segment option.
+
+
+*** Known issues
+
+- Since the support for OpenGL core contexts in WineD3D is not
+  complete enough yet, Direct3D 10 and 11 need to be supported in a
+  legacy context / the compatibility profile, which means that they
+  currently don't work on Mesa.
+
+- Setting the PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC variable was sometimes necessary with
+  the Alsa audio driver, but it can cause trouble with the Pulse
+  driver. It is recommended to unset the variable.
