Wine 1.4 Released

Posted by Unknown on from the windows-into-wine dept.

vinn writes "Wine 1.4 was released today and includes support for a wide range of applications, including Office 2010. There are some major architectural changes, including a built-in DIB engine for better graphics display and a new audio stack designed around the newer Vista / Win 7 system and integrated into the native audio system. Almost every other subsystem received substantial updates, including Direct3D, the Gecko-based web browsing components, and better internationalization. The release notes contain more detail and you can download the source code now, or wait for packages to appear soon."

    Full bodied with a distinct Windowsy flavor.

      An impertinent little release, with a bold, fruity taste.

      What's wrong with Win 7?

      It can't run on Linux
