  There will likely be another 0.5 series vesrion of DXGL, for info on planned updates, please see https://dxgl.org/wiki/Progress#Roadmap Except for the scaled primary fix (which will require a rewrite), the fixes listed for 0.5.26 will also be implemented in 0.6.x.

  Versions of DXGL in the 0.5 series due to an architectural limitation may run slowly with Direct3D games. However, you may be able to boost performance by setting Affinity to single core. Not sure what weird things are why, but I noticed my Athlon XP was faster than expected.

  Virus alert: I have become aware of a maliciously modified version of DXGL 0.5.20, legacy installer, floating around: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/e5ad5369f43b8a9cf5b4019c1bc16ed8d842d252971e13a4662ab038c0678eae/community This installer was NOT made by me but was altered to include a virus. To avoid viruses download from dxgl.org or GitHub.

  Work in progress dark mode support for DXGL Config, to be added to 0.5.27 if I can get it to meet my standards.

  Dark mode support is fully confirmed for DXGL 0.5.27, and in addition a new mode has been added to force the window border of a target app or game to be square, so the corners don't get cut off.

  Wine 11.6 has new DLL loading functionality to better handle custom DirectX wrappers and game mods. Starting with DXGL 0.5.27, if installing in Wine, the version will be checked and if the version is 11.6 or greater Setup will no longer adjust the DLL load order by default.

  DXGL 0.5.27 has now been released, including an updated dark theme for DXGL Config and various tweaks to the wrapper. https://dxgl.org/Downloads/

  @gavin57 Nothing is forced, available isn't the same as being forced.

  @gavin57 Hey, just for the record I did test my latest release on Wine to ensure no major regressions for Linux users.

  Bots are slowing down and crashing my site again. Even when the main site isn't working you may be able to download all DXGL releases at https://dxgl.org/download/dxgl/

  If you install the most recent update to Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable v14 you'll find the Control Panel lists it as Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable. This is still up to date and DXGL Setup will still recognize it as new enough. This issue is strictly cosmetic.

  DXGL 0.5.28 has been released. This release includes High DPI improvements, mouse related fixes, and resolves a regression that made the previous release incompatible with Windows NT 4.0 and 2000 (requires a special build). https://dxgl.org/downloads/

  DXGL 0.5.28 has a slight visual issue in DXGL Config in Dark Mode on systems older than Windows 11 25H2. Since this issue is minor, the fix will be implemented in a later release. Until then here's a teaser of a WIP UI refresh early in development.
