CrossOver Impersonator, a Windows emulator, promises high performance for Unix/Linux systems. With Wine 1.3.9 under the hood, it raises the question: what differentiates this Wine based program from any other? We ordered a copy to find out.

On first boot, CrossOver Linux presents the ability to automatically download the list of community-supported applications.  If you turn on automatic updating, this list will be checked and updated each time you launch it.

winetricks 20110105 and 20110105 alpha has been released with 35 games added PDF Print E-mail
Written by Tom Wickline   
Friday, 07 January 2011 07:02

New winetricks 20110105: improved download error recovery, added first-run optin dialog. New winetricks 20110105-alpha: menu divided into categories, added 35 games.

Another month, another Winetricks - or, rather, two new Winetricks.

Dan Kegel released winetricks 20110105 today. New version 20110105 has only two notable changes:

1. it will retry a corrupt download for you (this should get rid of most cryptic warnings about needing to rename a file and retry),

2. a first run dialog now asks whether you would like to help winetricks development by reporting usage stats.  You should only see this dialog once (and only if you're using the gui, and only if you're using zenity). This has been very helpful already, as people have been running it from svn.  Please let me know what you think of it.

By Jeremy White

Everyone in the Wine community is driving to release Wine 1.2 the newest and best version of Wine.

Its been two years since Wine 1.0, and weve really made huge strides. This version will include the beginnings of genuine 64-bit support, along with major Direct3D improvements, and improvements in a huge number of other areas.

Since the majority of CodeWeavers staff are Wine developers, that means were busily working on Wine 1.2 ourselves. Further, were working to roll Wine 1.2 into CrossOver 9.1 and CrossOver Games 9.1. We are really happy with the improvements and think this is going to make the very best CrossOver release.
