Bottles, a free and open-source application that makes it easier to run Windows software and games on Linux using Wine, has released version 67.6.
One main addition is the ability to move bottles between directories. Users can also select a destination when duplicating a bottle, providing more flexibility when organizing Windows environments across storage locations.
The library has several improvements, including per-bottle notes, sorting by bottle name, and download status indicators. A new option allows users to reset recorded playtime, while missing program files trigger warnings without removing their associated shortcuts.
Bottles 67.6 also introduces three DPI scaling modes: Default, Application, and System. Available under Advanced Display Settings, these options give more control over how Windows applications handle scaling.
Moreover, the release adds optional controls for UMU, support for launch wrappers, and improvements to application launching. An issue causing Battle.net to launch repeatedly has been fixed, along with startup delays affecting the application.
Download reliability has improved by extending read timeouts and introducing bounded retries, addressing interrupted downloads on slower connections.
Several Wine-related fixes address issues selecting Windows XP for 64-bit bottles, switching between Fsync and NTSync, and restoring the configured Windows version after installing dependencies.
The update also fixes issues saving imported bottles on external drives, improves dependency installation progress reporting, and corrects handling of applications with multiple uninstallers.
Finally, Bottles 67.6 updates the experimental Soda catalogs and improves installer progress logs.
