Hello!
This is the first hotfix for the latest stable. A small release but with feelings of a big release.
IMPORTANT: Heroic will clean the cache now after every update so it can start fresh, but in some cases, you might need to log in again on Epic and GOG, and on Linux or macOS start a new prefix in case the game fails to launch.
It also brings initial support for Wine, DXVK, and Winetricks on macOS thanks to the efforts of the Wineskin team, especially @Gcenx that helped us figure it out a few things on how to make it work on Heroic and also is the maintainer of the packages for this platform.
This initial support is interesting for testing but Crossover is still the recommended method to play windows games on macOS.
All wine versions need to be installed on the Home Applications folder. Heroic cannot access the Root Applications folder so it won't be able to detect wine installed there.
