From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The newest Wine Wayland driver code to be merged is improved HiDPI support.
Alexandros Frantzis with Collabora has seen his "part 9" code upstreamed for the in-progress Wine Wayland driver.
This effort to allow Wine to natively interact with Wayland desktops rather than going through XWayland continues to be improved upon ahead of the Wine 9.0 code freeze beginning in December.
This part nine code of the Wine Wayland driver adds support for scaled HiDPI displays.
Those interested in this now-merged initial Wine Wayland HiDPI support can see this GitLab merge request for all of the details.
This part ten enablement is being split into three merge requests.

What's the wine 9.0 code freeze?
They pause development of new features to focus on bugfixes.
