Wine 1.2 Released

Posted by Soulskill on from the pop-the-cork dept.

David Gerard writes "Stuck with that one Windows app you can't get rid of? Rejoice — Wine 1.2 is officially released! Apart from running pretty much any Windows application on Unix better than 1.0 (from 2008), major new features include 64-bit support, bi-directional text, and translation into thirty languages. And, of course, DirectX 9 is well-supported and DirectX 10 is getting better. Packages should hit the distros over the weekend, or you can get the source now."

    Awesome! I think I'm going to go install Wine. So that I can run software to organize my collection of wine. While I'm drinking wine. Who's with me?

    That might be true, but you're still a tea-smoking cockbagger.
