From the list of changes, I noticed the following:

> Revert "icuuc: Add initial dll."

> Revert "icu: Add stub dll."

In the recent 10.20 release, a number of applications I had previously been using without issue stopped working due to the change they had made to those dlls, and it took a bit of digging for for me to eventually find the solution that I needed to add new overrides for them (disabling one entirely and using the native or built-in version of the other). It's a bit mystifying to me why a breaking regression can slip into a minor release but fixing it not happen until a major release. I understand that this isn't semantic versioning, and I imagine that this is probably a case of them just happening to already have planned a major release next rather than a minor one, but it would be kind of nice if stuff like this could get fixed without having to be blocked on all of the other numerous (and much larger) changes when they're already aware of the problem and have identified the fix.

>#58037 Photoshop CS 2 installation never completes

Hah so I'm not the only who is still using CS2

I downloaded everything CS2 when Adobe "accidentally" made them available (the activation servers were shutdown). The Mac versions don't work anymore (PowerPC) but the Windows versions are more than good still today.

How does Wine address the more esoteric features of NTFS like Alternate Data Streams?
