The branch main has been updated by bjk: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/doc/commit/?id=224f316cbd8de2669856ae298778853d45c693cc commit 224f316cbd8de2669856ae298778853d45c693cc Author: rilysh <nightquick@proton.me> AuthorDate: 2024-03-25 06:09:38 +0000 Commit: Benjamin Kaduk <bjk@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2024-06-05 04:40:34 +0000 handbook/wine: add Mizuma's source code URL, and small typos 1. It's particularly interesting to know what games/apps are currently "supported" through Mizuma, so it's a good idea to link the source code URL (winetricks source code URL is also already mentioned.) 2. Remove the word "some" from the synopsis. It's ambiguous to know the meaning of "some" here, whereas Wine is intended (and does support) a wide range of Windows applications out of the box. 3. Use the word GitHub instead Github (ignorable).
