WineBottler 1.8-rc4 has been released for OSX El Capitan

Yep… Wine is turning final to a new stable! … and so is WineBottler.
After the dust of the major changes in WineBottler 1.7.52 have settled, this one comes only with minor fixes and improvements.

The most important might be the rebinding of the CMD-key. As 80% have voted on having the CMD-key doing the work of the CTRL-key, this feature is on by default, now.
A big thank you flies out to Tobias B. on directing my head to it.

Выпуск Wine Staging 1.8 экспериментального варианта Wine


Следом за Wine 1.8 увидел свет релиз ответвления Wine Staging 1.8, в рамках которого формируются расширенные сборки Wine, включающие не полностью готовые или рискованные патчи, пока не пригодные для принятия в основную ветку Wine. Wine-staging позиционируется как площадка для предварительного тестирования экспериментальных патчей, перед их включением в основное дерево исходных текстов Wine.

По сравнению с Wine 1.8 в Wine-staging добавлено более 730 патчей и 260 исправлений ошибок. В том числе добавлена реализация многопоточного режима (Commandstream multithreading), поддержка Windows ACL, возможность использования тем GTK3+, декодировние DXVA2 на стороне GPU, поддержка CUDA/PhysX/NVENC для видеокарт NVIDIA, поддержка EAX 1, улучшенная реализация d3dx9, различные оптимизации производительности и т.д.

В качестве особого рождественского подарка пользователям разработчики Wine Staging также представили реализацию технологии Windows Update для Wine. Реализация основана на установщике wusa.exe (Windows Update Stand-Alone Installer), который используется для установки обновлений пакетов в Vista и более новых выпусках Windows. В текущем состоянии система поддерживает установку 32- и 64-разрядных пакетов, но пока охватывает не все типы MSU-пакетов. Например, не поддерживается проприетарный формат упаковки msdelta, используемый в пакетах с IE, но вполне корректно работает установка .NET Framework 4.5.

WineHQ has released Wine 1.8 for Linux and Mac

The WineHQ team is proud to announce that the stable release Wine 1.8 is now available.
This release represents 17 months of development effort and around 13,000 individual changes. The main highlights are the implementation of DirectWrite and Direct2D , and the new Pulse Audio driver. It also contains a lot of improvements across the board, as well as support for many new applications and games. See the release notes below for a summary of the major changes.

The source is available now. Binary packages are in the process of being built, and will appear soon at their respective download locations.

What's new in Wine 1.8
======================

*** Text and fonts

- DirectWrite is implemented, and works for a number of
  applications. The implemented functionality includes:
  - Font file loading from system or custom font collections.
  - Building font families by combining similar font faces.
  - Font matching algorithm using weight/width/slope model.
  - Basic text layout support.
  - Bi-directional level resolution and line breaks resolution.
  - GDI interoperability API, including rendering to DIB section base target.
  - Rendering to arbitrary target with generic rendering interface.
  - Generating black&white and grayscale alpha bitmaps.

- Bold glyphs can be synthesized for outline fonts.

- Multiple replacements can be specified for a single font by using a
  multi-string entry under HKCU\Software\Wine\Fonts\Replacements.

- Vertical text uses the Unicode data tables for more accurate
  character ranges support.

- Character tables are based on version 8.0.0 of the Unicode Standard.

- The built-in Wingdings font contains more glyphs.

- Unicode bracketing pairs are supported in Uniscribe.

- The RichEdit control uses Uniscribe for more accurate text rendering.

- Hebrew and Arabic Mac OS code pages are supported. This improves
  support for loading translated font names from Mac OS font files.

*** Graphics

- Direct2D is supported. Among the implemented features are:
  - DXGI surface and WIC bitmap render targets.
  - Geometries defined by straight lines and cubic Bézier curves.
  - Drawing text.
  - Bitmaps.
  - Solid color brushes and bitmap brushes.
  - Opacity brushes.

- PNG files can be encoded in interlaced mode.

- Gamma information can be loaded from PNG files.

- Animated GIFs are correctly supported in GdiPlus.

*** Direct3D

- Direct3D 11 is supported, to about the same level as Direct3D 10.

- Simple applications using Direct3D 10 are supported. There are still
  many unimplemented features.  Direct3D 10 requires support for at
  least OpenGL 3.2 and GLSL 1.50. Some of the changes and supported
  features include:
  - Several resource update operations are implemented.
  - Many more shader model 4 opcode are recognized.
  - Constant buffers are supported.
  - The various resource views are implemented.
  - The various state objects are implemented.
  - Stateblocks are implemented.

- A number of new DXGI 1.1 interfaces are implemented. This benefits Direct3D
  10 and 11 applications.

- Direct3D applications correctly minimize and restore the display
  mode on focus loss.

- Fixed function vertex blending is implemented. This requires GLSL support.

- Per-vertex point sizes are supported. This requires GLSL support.

- The wined3d graphics card database recognizes more graphics
  cards. The graphics card detection code is simplified and
  improved. More reasonable fallbacks are picked for unrecognized
  graphics cards.

- On drivers that support it, GL_ARB_texture_mirror_clamp_to_edge or
  GL_EXT_texture_mirror_clamp are used to implement the "mirror once"
  texture addressing mode. Previously this required
  GL_ATI_texture_mirror_once.

- GL_ARB_depth_clamp is no longer required to correctly draw pre-transformed
  vertices with disabled z-buffering. This helps older graphics cards that
  can't correctly implement GL_ARB_depth_clamp.

- On drivers that support it, GL_ARB_blend_func_extended is used to
  implement the D3DBLEND_SRCALPHASAT blend factor.

- On drivers that support it, GL_ARB_sampler_objects is used to apply
  sampler states independently of the texture object they apply
  to. This helps applications that bind the same texture to multiple
  texture stages, but with different sampler states.

- On drivers that support it, GL_EXT_texture_snorm is used to support
  signed (normalized) texture formats. These are typically used for
  bump mapping. Previously these formats required either
  GL_NV_texture_shader, or fixups when loading and using them.

- On drivers that support is, GL_ARB_timer_query is used to support
  Direct3D 9 timestamp queries.

- Texture format restrictions are more strictly enforced. This allows
  applications to fall back to a different format instead of continuing with
  broken rendering.

- Direct3D 9 D3DTSS_CONSTANT texture stage constants are supported.

- Color keyed blits can be done by the graphics card. Previously these
  needed to be done by the CPU.

- NV12 surfaces are supported. This is used by some applications for
  playing back video.

- ATI1N textures and surfaces are supported, in addition to ATI2N
  textures and surfaces. This requires support for
  GL_ARB_texture_compression_rgtc from the OpenGL driver.

- When GLSL is supported, lighting for Direct3D 1-3 is more
  correct. However, for most application the difference will only be
  very slight.

- The IDirect3DSwapChain9Ex interface is supported.

- OpenGL core contexts, OpenGL ES contexts, and multi-threaded OpenGL
  command submission (known as "CSMT") have been added, however that
  work is not finished yet.

*** DirectDraw

- SetCooperativeLevel() works better, affecting DirectDraw exclusive
  mode in particular.

- DirectDraw surface flipping is more correct. This affects applications that
  use more than 1 back buffer in particular.

- DirectDraw palette handling is better supported. This mostly affects
  older applications using 8-bpp display modes (but not exclusively.)

- "Client memory" surfaces are better supported, in particular related
  to the handling of pitch and texture compression.

*** Audio and video

- A Pulse Audio driver is implemented. It is selected automatically
  when Pulse Audio is running.

- 5.1 surround sound is supported in DirectSound. Stereo is the
  default, but other speaker configurations can be set through the
  Audio tab in Winecfg.

- XAudio2 is implemented, based on the OpenAL Soft library.

- The OpenAL library defaults to the native version.

- The Video Mixing Renderer version 7 is implemented.

- AVI file encoding and compression is implemented.

*** Kernel

- Wine can be configured to report the Windows version as 'Windows
  8.1' and 'Windows 10'.

- Keyed event synchronization objects are implemented.

- The "init once" synchronization mechanism is supported.

- Condition variables are implemented.

- Slim Reader/Writer locks are implemented.

- Activation contexts are used for loading DLLs, type libraries, and
  COM classes, avoiding the need for explicit registration.

- Windows devices support read and write operations in addition to I/O
  controls. They can be remapped directly to existing Unix devices.

- Thread local storage is supported in dynamically loaded libraries.

- Process jobs are implemented.

- The Task Scheduler service is implemented.

- The UTF-7 encoding is supported.

- ATL thunk emulation supports a wider range of possible instructions.

- Process and thread affinity is supported even with a large number of
  processors.

- Dynamic DST (Daylight Saving Time) is supported through the
  registry. Timezone data is updated for a number of timezones.

- USER_SHARED_DATA access is emulated on x86-64 platforms.

- The new thread pool API is supported.

- OpenMP (parallel programming API) is implemented.

- Preliminary support for HID devices is implemented, but it's not
  enabled yet.

*** User interface

- There is an optional Start Menu in desktop mode, that can be enabled
  on a per-desktop basis by setting "EnableShell" to "Y" under
  HKCU\Software\Wine\Explorer\Desktops\.

- The standard Open File dialog supports a drop-down menu for file
  manipulations.

- The 'My Documents' folder links to the XDG or Mac OS X 'Documents'
  folder if it exists.

- Many more shell Known Folders are supported.

- Scrollbar theming is implemented. Theming of other controls also
  works better.

- The Toolbar common control can save and restore its state.

*** Mac OS X support

- The 64-bit architecture is supported on Mac OS X; however, it's not
  100% compatible with Win64, because of the OS X non-standard 64-bit
  ABI.

- Memory size is reported accurately on Mac OS X.

- Joysticks are supported at the WinMM level on Mac OS X.

- Debugging information and stack unwinding are improved on Mac OS X.

*** Known issues

- Since the support for OpenGL core contexts in WineD3D is not
  complete enough yet, Direct3D 10 and 11 need to be supported in a
  legacy context / the compatibility profile, which means that they
  currently don't work on Mesa.

- Setting the PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC variable was sometimes necessary with
  the Alsa audio driver, but it can cause trouble with the Pulse
  driver. It is recommended to unset the variable.

Состоялся релиз CrossOver 15.0 для запуска Win32-приложений под Linux и OS X

Компанией CodeWeavers был выпущен CrossOver 15.0. Этот пакет основан на программном коде коде Wine 1.8-rc и представляет собой оболочку для запуска программ под Windows на платформах Linux и OS X. Также он позволяет запускать игры, что для многих пользователей является решающим фактором при выборе операционной системы.

В новой версии разработчики обновили пользовательский интерфейс программы под Linux и переработали установщик под Linux и OS X. За счёт использования звукового сервера PulseAudio удалось повысить качество звука. Также они улучшили поддержку Microsoft Office и добавили поддержку ряда новых программ, в частности, программы контроля финансов Quicken 2016.

Отметим, что вышеупомянутый Wine представляет собой программную прослойку, позволяющую выполнять Win32-приложения на Linux и OS X. При этом Wine не является эмулятором в чистом виде, хотя некоторыми программами и распознаётся таковым, поскольку технически представляет собой вариант виртуальной машины, которая сообщается с основной системой.

CrossOver является платной программой, однако возможность запускать большую часть привычных программ и игр на других платформах зачастую нивелирует этот «недостаток». Для всех остальных есть Wine в виде отдельного приложения.

Twin Cities entrepreneur seeks a uneeq marketing approach

Touchfire keyboard cases for Apple iPad tablets are among a still-modest selection of products on the Uneeq tech-retail site, a Minneapolis effort that is debuting this week. (Touchfire)


Does the Internet need another tech-retail site with gadgets and software for sale? Michael Wray thinks so -- provided such a site is unique.

The Minneapolis man this week is launching Uneeq, a tech-retail site he hopes eventually will impress geekier consumers with an interest in offbeat gizmos and software at often steep discounts.
It's early days for Uneeq, however. The site still doesn't have much of an inventory. Its initial marquee offering is a Macintosh-software "bundle" with eight titles for a combined cost of about $30, which would usually sell for $228 or so.

Other software options include a pair of Smile Software apps for the Macintosh, PDFPen and TextExpander. Hardware offerings include an assortment of Touchfire-branded keyboard cases for Apple iPad tablets, along with an emergency flashlight and several device-charging products.
That's pretty much it.

Wray, a veteran Apple-software retailer, said he is not concerned about eventually getting Uneeq's product selection fleshed out.

Wray said he ran into a not-unexpected problem: Convincing the makers of tech products to ally themselves with a site that didn't yet exist. Now that Uneeq is live on the Web, he is confident that he'll have more vendors soon.

Wray's reputation will surely help. He's been operating Minneapolis-based Mariner Software for more than a decade, and the company itself goes back a quarter-century. Wray's role at Mariner continues, but he said he hungered to start something new.

To that end, he has entirely "bootstrapped" the Uneeq venture himself, in a collaboration with his Mariner Software business partner Dusty Fields. So far, he hasn't needed venture capital or angel investors.

"I was able to call in some favors from friends and associates" for marketing, business-strategy and technical assistance, he said. "No money, though. Starting a company doesn't necessarily need to be an expensive venture, if you know what you are doing."

For Wray, Uneeq "has been an itch that needed scratching, to launch something other than a software company." Wray anticipates the company will become largely a tech-gadget purveyor with an Apple-centric, young-adult male clientele.

At the same time, Uneeq is following the time-honored tradition of offering software bundles -- sets of complementary apps sold together at sharp discounts, often with hugely successful results.
The Mac-software bundle now on Uneeq's home page is a sign of what is likely to come, Wray said.

    CrossOver 14.1.11 для Mac OS

     CrossOver 14.1.11 для Mac OS - Программа, позволяющая запускать многие приложения, написанные для ОС Microsoft Windows в Mac OS X, причём наличие при этом установленной Windows не требуется. CrossOver отличается от Wine более узкой направленностью: он нацелен на поддержку наиболее востребованных офисных и иных приложений Windows, таких как Microsoft Office разных версий, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Lotus Notes, Adobe Photoshop и другие. Но зато совместимость с этими приложениями тщательно тестируется и отлаживается, так что их работа обычно бывает стабильнее, чем в Wine.

    Microsoft Office 2013 and World of Tanks Support to Arrive in Wine and CrossOver

    CodeWeavers, the company behind projects like CrossOver and Wine, has announced that it's making great progress with Microsoft Office 2013 and World of Tanks, among other things.

    Wine is a powerful tool, but developers need to constantly work on it, as Windows apps and environment are always changing and evolving. Something that runs today in Wine or CrossOver might now work tomorrow. Another difficult task is to make certain apps run in the first place, like Microsoft Office 2013, for instance. If you ever install Microsoft Office 2013 in Windows, you'll notice that it comes with a myriad of DLL and various other important dependencies, so you can always imagine what a difficult task it is to make it work in Linux.

    Another point of interest is World of Tanks, which happens to be one of the most played MMO titles right now. The fact that Linux users have a hard time playing it is not a good thing, and CodeWeavers knows this all too well. They are working right now to correct that problem, and they've already made some progress in this regard, especially for the latest World of Tanks 9.9 update, which seems to create some issues.

    CodeWeavers is not sitting idle


    The developers from CodeWeavers are planning to make some improvements in the upcoming CrossOver and Wine versions, and that includes all the fixes mentioned above.

    "With World of Tanks we began by triaging a crash that started with the 9.9 update. We fixed the issue quickly and sent a new build to Wargaming. We followed this with a fix for a severe drop in frame-rates with the 9.9 update. A fix for the frame rate issue and a mouse offset issue is on its way to Wargaming now. For CrossOver 14, we tested fixes with Microsoft Office 2010's behavior on dual screen systems. This includes full-screen maximize/minimize the behavior of primary and secondary screens on Gnome Classic and Gnome Shell with Metacity and Debian 7," wrote Caron Wills from CodeWeavers.

    New mobile wineskin website and forums coming soon

    New mobile wineskin winery website and forums coming soon.

    I'm planning on revamping this website. The current plan is I'll make pretty much the entire website from scratch, as it's really all static data besides news updates, so it's not too difficult. The plan is to make it responsive so it'll look and work right on anything from phones to desktops.

    The issue comes down to... I don't want to try to make a Forum from scratch. I'd like to find one I can integrate in easy and will work good, including a responsive design.

    I'd like input if anyone has anything I should look at that would be easy enough to use and would work good for the website here.

    What we need i can think of...
    • Open Source
    • Easy to modify the looks/appearance
    • Responsive design
    • Can allow moderated anonymous posts like now
    • Allows users to also make accounts, so trusted users don't have to go through moderation.
    • easy to search and find posts for users looking for answers to questions
    • Will last and be well supported for years to come

    Anything else anyone can think of? I haven't messed with Forum software much in years, but anything has to be better than this one... going to dump all of Tiki software.

    Wine 1.7.55 Officially Released the Devs Will Now Concentrate on Wine 1.8

    The Wine development release 1.7.55 is now available.

    What's new in this release:
    • Pulse audio driver.
    • Various fixes for Microsoft Office 2013 support.
    • Some more implementation of the Web Services DLL.
    • More fixes for the latest C runtime version.
    • Improvements to the Makefile generation.
    • Various bug fixes.
    The source is available now. Binary packages are in the process of being built, and will appear soon at their respective download locations.

    Email sent to Wine Development from Alexandre Julliard

    Start of code freeze

    Folks,

    Now that release 1.7.55 is out, it's time to start code freeze towards the stable 1.8 release. This means that from now on, new features or code redesigns won't be accepted; only targeted bug fixes that don't look too dangerous will be allowed in. The freeze will get increasingly more strict as we progress towards release.

    I know that git makes it easy for everybody to keep working on new things on their own branch, but I'd ask that we all take time to concentrate on fixing bugs, and particularly regressions. I'm hoping that we can make the number of regressions drop significantly, like we did for the previous stable releases.

    I will be making release candidates every Friday until we run out of bugs that can be reasonably fixed. Based on previous experience, the code freeze should last between 4 and 8 weeks.

    This is also an opportunity to polish things like translations, documentation, web site etc. so there is plenty to do even for non-developers. And most importantly, we need help with retesting as many applications as possible...

    Thank you all for your help!
