Wine 1.2 Release Candidate Announced

An anonymous reader writes "After evolving over 15 years to get to 1.0, a mere 2 years later and Wine 1.2 is just about here. There have been many many improvements and plenty of new features added. Listing just a few (doing no justice to the complete change set): many new toolbar icons; support for alpha blending in image lists; much more complete shader assembler; support for Arabic font shaping and joining, and a number of fixes for video rendering; font anti-aliasing configuration through fontconfig; and improved handling of desktop link files. Win64 support is the milestone that marks this release. Please test your favorite applications for problems and regressions and let the Wine team know so fixes can be made before the final release. Find the release candidate here."

    That Anonymous Coward guy is pretty annoying. Can we have the government censor him or something?

    By Android, it's likely to kill a bunch of cellphone OSs, maybe even Palm, possibly even iPhoneOS.

    But under the hood, Palm WebOS is Linux. Mhhhm, perhaps it's just my deranged mind, but I can't help but wonder whether that would legally classify as suicide, fratricide or maybe even cannibalism...

    It doesn't emulate a platform API. It implements a platform API.

    it's stateless?

    Looks like someone's being doing too much Java programming to remember the actual meaning of words.
