CodeWeavers has Released CrossOver 17.5.0 for Linux and MacOS

I am delighted to announce that CodeWeavers has just released CrossOver 17.5.0 for both macOS and Linux. CrossOver 17.5.0 has many improvements to the core Windows compatibility layer and also specific enhancements for several popular applications.


CrossOver 17.5 supports the latest version of Microsoft Office 365 and includes a number of bug fixes to improve Office 2016. Users should see increased stability and encounter fewer crashes.

CrossOver 17.5 is the first step towards making CrossOver for macOS fully 64-bit compatible, in anticipation of Apple’s plan to end support for 32-bit applications. As part of our transition to 64-bit, we have removed the Legacy X Window System from CrossOver 17.5. The Legacy X Window System had been a fallback display technology since CrossOver 13, used in a limited set of circumstances. Users who require Legacy X Window System support should continue using an earlier version of CrossOver and contact our support team.

macOS customers with active support entitlements will be upgraded to CrossOver 17.5 the next time they launch CrossOver. Linux users can download the latest version from  CodeWeavers.

Change Log For CrossOver Mac and Linux :

17.5.0 CrossOver - May 8, 2018
  • Application Support:
    • This update includes a variety of bug fixes to improve the behavior of Microsoft Office 2016. Users should see increased stability and encounter fewer crashes.
  • macOS:
    • As the first step towards making CrossOver fully 64-bit compatible, we have removed the Legacy X Window System. The Legacy X Window System has been a fallback display technology since CrossOver 13, used in a limited set of circumstances.

The WineHQ Wine stable release 3.0.0 is now available for Linux and Mac

The Wine team is proud to announce that the stable release Wine 3.0 is now available for Linux and macOS.

This release represents a year of development effort and over 6,000 individual changes. It contains a large number of improvements that are listed in the release notes. The main highlights are:
  • Direct3D 10 and 11 support.
  • The Direct3D command stream.
  • The Android graphics driver.
  • Improved DirectWrite and Direct2D support.
Once again, because of the annual release schedule, a number of features that are being worked on have been deferred to the next development cycle. This includes in particular Direct3D 12 and Vulkan support, as well as OpenGL ES support to enable Direct3D on Android.
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 3.0

*** Direct3D

- A significant number of Direct3D 10 and 11 features are implemented in
  this release, including:
  - Compute shaders.
  - Hull and domain (tessellation) shaders.
  - Stream output.
  - Format capability queries.
  - A large number of shader model 4 and 5 shader instructions.
  - Shader model 4 and 5 interpolation modifiers.
  - Shader model 4 and 5 clip and cull distances.
  - Indirect draws and indirect compute dispatch.
  - Structured buffers.
  - Byte addressable buffers.
  - Append and consume buffers.
  - Unordered access view counters.
  - Cube-map arrays.
  - Layered rendering to 3-dimensional textures and texture arrays.
  - Mip-map generation.
  - Conservative depth output.
  - Type-less (sub)resource copies.
  - Depth bias.

- The multi-threaded command stream feature serializes Direct3D rendering
  commands from different threads into a single rendering thread. Its main
  purpose in this release is rendering correctness, but the feature also
  provides opportunities for future performance improvements. This feature
  is disabled by default.

- Support for OpenGL core contexts in Direct3D is improved, to the point
  that core contexts are used by default for Direct3D 10 and 11
  applications on AMD and Intel graphics cards. As a result, users of those
  graphics cards in combination with Mesa OpenGL drivers should no longer
  need to set the "MaxVersionGL" registry key to enable Direct3D 10 and 11
  support.

- The Direct3D graphics card database recognizes more graphics cards.

- New HKCU\Software\Wine\Direct3D registry key:
  - "csmt" (REG_DWORD)
    Enable (0x1) or disable (0x0, default) the multi-threaded command
    stream feature described above.

- Deprecated HKCU\Software\Wine\Direct3D registry keys:
  - "StrictDrawOrdering"
    This has been superseded by the multi-threaded command stream feature.
  - "OffscreenRenderingMode"
    The "fbo" setting is the only remaining supported value. The
    "backbuffer" setting, while still available, is no longer supported.

- Removed HKCU\Software\Wine\Direct3D registry keys:
  - "AlwaysOffscreen"
    This is always enabled in this release.
  - "MultiSampling"
    Use the "SampleCount" (REG_DWORD) setting to force a specific
    multi-sample anti-aliasing sample count for swapchain render targets
    instead.


*** Graphics

- Drawing outlines of Direct2D geometry objects is implemented.

- Direct2D linear and radial gradient brushes are implemented.

- Direct2D compatibility with GDI is implemented.

- Bounds computation of Direct2D geometry objects is implemented.

- Simplification of Direct2D geometry objects is implemented.

- The OpenGL extension list is updated to OpenGL version 4.6.

- The system GLU library is only needed when the Nurbs renderer is used,
  all other GLU functions are implemented internally.

- Metafile playback in GdiPlus supports most of the GdiPlus-specific
  metafile record types, in addition to the standard metafile records.

- GdiPlus graphics operations take the GDI transform into account.

- Encoding image formats with a palette is supported in WindowsCodecs.


*** Android

- Wine can be built as an APK package and behaves like a proper Android
  application.

- A full graphics driver is implemented. Because of restrictions of the
  Android window management API, only full screen desktop mode is
  supported.

- A full audio driver is implemented.

- OpenGL is supported, but it's limited to the OpenGL ES API that is
  available on Android.

- Direct3D is not supported yet, because it cannot run on top of OpenGL ES
  at this point. This will be addressed during the next development cycle.


*** Kernel

- The default Windows version is set to Windows 7.

- The full semantics of named pipes are implemented, including message-mode
  pipes.

- Position Independent Executables are supported, both for the Wine binary
  itself and also when starting external binaries.

- Serial and parallel port devices are created automatically, with the
  corresponding symlinks in the dosdevices directory. The detected ports
  can be overridden through the HKLM\Software\Wine\Ports key.

- Safe DLL search mode is implemented. It is enabled by default, and can be
  disabled by setting the "SafeDllSearchMode" value to 0 under
  HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager.

- Safe process search mode is implemented. It is disabled by default but
  can be requested by the application, and it can be forced by setting the
  "SafeProcessSearchMode" value to 1 under
  HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager.

- Asynchronous I/O performance is improved by reducing the number of server
  calls.

- Memory write watches work correctly when used concurrently with file I/O
  on the same buffers.

- Virtual memory allocations can be arbitrarily large on 64-bit platforms.


*** User interface

- The built-in mouse cursors are redesigned, and available in higher
  resolution for high DPI screens.

- The Shell Explorer, the common dialogs, and the RichEdit control properly
  scale on high DPI screens.

- The screen DPI value can be overridden by setting the "LogPixels" value
  under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop.

- In desktop mode, higher display resolutions with various aspect ratios
  are supported.

- The Task Dialog common control is implemented.

- The Internal User Interface is supported in MSI.

- Double-buffered theme painting is implemented.

- The TWAIN library supports a user dialog for selecting the scanner
  source.

- Device-independent bitmaps and metafiles can be stored into the OLE Data
  Cache.


*** Desktop integration

- The StartupWMClass field is set in generated desktop files so that they
  can be matched to their respective Windows binary.

- Clipboard changes from other X11 applications are detected through the
  Xfixes library instead of polling.

- The RichEdit control supports pasting metafiles.

- The Program Manager DDE protocol for manipulating program entries and
  groups is implemented.

- The HID service for detecting Plug & Play devices is active by default.

- Version 4 of the system tray notification protocol is supported on macOS.


*** Text and fonts

- Contextual glyph substitution is supported in UniScribe.

- Character tables are based on version 10.0.0 of the Unicode Standard.

- The Nepali and Bangla (India) locales are supported.

- Font support is compatible with the new behaviors introduced in FreeType
  version 2.8.1.


*** DirectWrite

- Trailing line trimming signs in both character and word modes is
  supported.

- Cluster wrapping mode is supported.

- Uniform and proportional line spacing methods are implemented.

- Oblique and bold simulation is also supported in bitmap rendering mode.

- Per-factory cache is thread safe.

- Overhang metrics evaluation for layouts are implemented.

- In-memory font file loader is implemented and is available to
  applications.


*** D3DX

- Support for D3DX 9 preshaders is improved.

- Support for D3DX 9 application defined effect state managers
  (ID3DXEffectStateManager) is implemented.

- Using effect pools to share effect parameters between D3DX 9 effects is
  implemented.


*** Internet and networking

- UDP/TCP listeners are implemented in Web Services.

- Web Services supports the .NET Binary Format, including the string table
  extension.

- Web Services supports the .NET Message Framing Protocol.

- Asynchronous support is enabled for receiving messages in Web Services.

- HTML event handling is rewritten to support standard-compliant mode.

- Multiple new standard-compliant HTML APIs are supported. HTML document
  mode support is improved to preserve compatibility with documents
  expecting legacy behavior.

- The WebBrowser control supports MHTML files.

- Embedding HTML documents in .NET applications is better supported.

- WinHTTP correctly parses cookie attributes.


*** Cryptography

- Cryptographic hashes are implemented internally instead of relying on
  GnuTLS.

- AES encryption is supported.

- The Microsoft Root Certificate 2011 is added to the list of known
  Microsoft certificates.

- The Mono and Gecko add-on packages are verified with SHA256 checksums.


*** ARM platforms

- On ARM, the floating point ABI defaults to 'softfp' for compatibility
  with Windows binaries.  It can be changed by passing the --with-float-abi
  flag to configure.

- The Wine preloader is also used on ARM64 platforms.

- Relay debugging is supported on ARM64 platforms.


*** Built-in applications

- Registry importing and exporting in RegEdit is reimplemented for better
  compatibility. Windows 3.1 registry files can also be imported. Registry
  files are exported to Unicode format by default.

- RegEdit always shows the 64-bit view of the registry on 64-bit prefixes.

- The Reg.exe registry manipulation tool supports importing and exporting
  registry files.

- The command interpreter implements the MKLINK command.

- The command interpreter supports escape characters in the prompt string.

- WineMine shows a confirmation dialog before resetting the best scores.


*** Tools

- The IDL compiler (widl) handles C++ aggregate returns in an
  MSVC-compatible way.

- The resource compiler (wrc) supports translating version resources
  through the po files.

- The Wine debugger (winedbg) supports printing floating point and SSE
  register state.

- All Perl scripts that parse XML use the standard XML::LibXML module.

- The obsolete wineinstall tool is removed.
