Wine-GE-Proton8-17 Released ( github.com )

HOTFIX:

Fixed some packaged libraries not being stripped, significantly reduces package size
Added wine-gecko and wine-mono to the packaged builds (this adds about 375mb to the package)
What does this mean?

Originally, the unpackaged build was about ~600mb this included stripping and did NOT include gecko and mono.

Without stripping it accidentally brought the build to about ~1.4GB which was massive. This release fixes the stripping, and brings the size back down to ~600mb, HOWEVER..

with the new addition of gecko and mono the build size once again goes back up to ~976mb

So, unfortunately you WILL see a size increase from the original ~600 to ~976, but it is no longer 1.4gb in size.
