The changelog for this 4.2.6 can be found below:

WineBottler 1.7.37 has been released

Fixed OpenGL and X11 fallback

This update comes with
  • fix for the X11 fallback (missing dylib).
  • fix for code signing on OS X 10.10 – that should allow you to install WineBottler without lowering your security-settings.
And it is pushing Wine.app to 1.7.37.

Wine changelog: winehq.org

There will be an update to the stable branch of WineBottler and Wine.app, based on Wine 1.6.2 and all the new WineBottler features that appeared since WineBottler 1.6.1 came out.
That said, I will land some major changes to the unstable branch starting next week :) .

As usual: head over to winebottler.kronenberg.org and download your copy :) .

WineBottler 1.7.34 has been released

Improvements for Yosemite
Just a small update for WineBottler.
False positives for AV

As noted earlier, the no-op file winemenubuilder.exe triggered some anti virus checks. Starting with 1.7.34 it should pass them all.
Speaking of viruses
Please download WineBottler directly from http://winebottler.kronenberg.org – there are some “download”-websites” that bundle WineBottler into an installer that will install adware on your system, too.

UI Improvements
Tweaking the new look and adding it to the progress window.

Bugfixing
Fixed a bug, that prevented WineBottler from finishing custom Apps on some Yosemite Macs.
Pushing Wine.app to 1.7.34.

Wine changelog: winehq.org
If you should still have issues with AV or generating custom Apps still freezes for you, please let me know.

By the Way:
You can find news on WineBottler now on weibo and vk, too!
