14.0.0 CrossOver - October 16, 2014

• Mac OS X:
  • CrossOver's Graphical User Interface has been entirely redone. Windows applications can now be easily launched from within CrossOver itself, and much of the rest of the user interface has been simplified.
  • The CrossOver Software Installer more prominently displays all search results when a user searches for an application to install, making it easier to find the desired application.
• Linux:
  • CrossOver can now automatically detect and install missing packages on many Linux distributions, making it easier to get the packages you need. CrossOver will attempt to install a minimal set of packages on first-run, and will also attempt to install packages needed by specific Windows applications when those Windows applications are installed.
  • CrossOver has fixed a bug with the way it uses threads in GTK+ (this bug fix allows CrossOver to run on Ubuntu 14.10).
  • CrossOver should now detect proxy settings on systems which use GSettings.
  • Fixed proxy detection for certain KDE configurations.
• Application Support:
  • New Supported Applications:
    • CrossOver now supports Quicken 2015 on both OS X and Linux.
    • CrossOver now supports Hearthstone on Linux.
    • CrossOver now supports Cube World on both OS X and Linux.
    • CrossOver now supports Path of Exile on both OS X and Linux.
    • CrossOver now supports Warcraft III on Linux.
    • CrossOver now supports Euro Truck Simulator 2 on both OS X and Linux.
    • CrossOver now supports Terraria on both OS X and Linux.
    • CrossOver now supports South Park: The Stick of Truth on both OS X and Linux.
    • CrossOver now supports Xenonauts both OS X and Linux.
  • Bug fixes:
    • The "Save a copy as" feature in Quicken 2014 is now functional.
    • Quicken 2014 is now able to validate data files.
    • Quicken 2014 now displays its update notice correctly.
    • Quicken 2014 will now remember when its windows are re-sized.
    • Scrolling using a trackpad on an Apple laptop will now work in Quicken 2014.
    • Formatting of message timestamps in Outlook 2010 has been improved.
    • Many games - Deus Ex: Human Revolution - no longer require the Legacy X Window System to run on OS X.
    • CrossOver's built-in web browser has improved and now loads more sites, including the U-Haul website and the website for the United States Copyright Office.
    • Steam can now be hidden reliably on OS X.
    • Legacy Family Tree 7 will now run under CrossOver on OS X.
    • Printing will now work when MathType is installed alongside Word 2007.
• Other Improvements:
  • CrossOver 14.0.0 is based on Wine 1.7.25 which includes over 5,000 patches that fix bugs and add greater Windows compatibility.

CODEWEAVERS LAUNCHES CROSSOVER 14

Update includes support for new “Yosemite” Mac Operating System
Runs Quicken 2015, many newer games; Includes latest, greatest Wine 1.7.25
 
SAINT PAUL, Minn (October 16, 2014) — CodeWeavers, Inc., developer of CrossOver—the easiest, fastest way to run Windows software on Mac and Linux, announced today the release of CrossOver 14. With CrossOver 14, you can run thousands of Windows software titles, without the need to buy a Windows OS license.

CrossOver 14 features support for Apple’s latest operating system release of Mac OS 10.10, more commonly known as “Yosemite,” which was released on 16 October, 2014. CrossOver 14 works “out-of-the-box” with Yosemite, and will give Mac users all the benefits from this much anticipated OS release.
CrossOver 14 contains support for many newer Windows applications, a prominent example being Quicken 2015. CrossOver also supports many games, including new support for the very popular Hearthstone (on Linux), as well as other titles such as Cube World, Path of Exile, Warcraft III, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Terraria, South Park: The Stick of Truth, and Xenonauts. CrossOver also runs thousands of other Windows titles of all types.

CrossOver 14 also includes the very latest release of Wine: Wine 1.7.25. Wine is an open-source software allowing Windows programs to be run on Unix-based operating systems without the need for Windows itself. Wine also delivers superior performance and simplicity compared with virtual machine. The latest release, Wine 1.7.25, embodies another year’s worth of Wine development, including nearly 5,000 new patches and application improvements to hundreds of different Windows applications.
CrossOver 14 is available immediately at www.CodeWeavers.com.

Learning From the Seat of a Tank

From the blog of James B Ramey who has recently been given the new title of Emperor at CodeWeavers. :)

Recently, I’ve had the opportunity to play a lot; I mean two – to – three hours a day, every day, since the end of March inside the tank simulation of World of Tanks (WoT). Over 2,500 battles– 1234 wins, 1234 losses, and 39 draws to be exact.  Over the course game play, I’ve managed to learn a few lessons that will no doubt help me in my presidency of CodeWeavers.  It is in that spirit of sharing that I present my Top 10 Lessons from Inside a Tank (and to provide billable hours to the CEO for all the time I’ve spent in battling during work hours):

1.    Idiots Die Quickly – Within seconds of the battle starting.  , there are early tank casualties. Usually, the casualties are the direct result of running headfirst into harm’s way in the shortest amount of time possible.  My takeaway – Making rash decisions can have dire consequences for you and for the people counting on you to be a productive member of their team. It is often better to be initially cautious taking time to learn the ‘terrain’ so as to avoid making unnecessary mistakes.

2.    You Can’t Hit a Tank You Can’t See – In battle, your radar goes off identifying an opposing tank.  You can either avoid danger by squeezing your eyes shut or quickly plan a course of action to aggressively eliminate the threat.   My takeaway – You can hope to avoid danger or you can take steps to avoid danger but rarely can you accomplish both – so choose wisely.

3.    Great Teams Typically Beat Great Tanks – Teams are randomly created based on their purpose.  Teams of tanks work together to locate and destroy opponents. A team of highly effective tanks can quickly identify, locate, and disarm almost any opposing tank.  My takeaway – If you want to win, you need to build and maintain effective teams with unique but complementary skill sets.

4.    A Smart Tanker in a Bad Tank is Better than a Dumb Tanker in a Great Tank – In battle, it’s easy to make obvious mistakes.  Smart tankers win more battles because they deliberately avoid choosing the options with little upside.  My takeaway – Managing risk and being aware of your current situation is critical in creating positive outcomes.

5.    Have a Plan – It’s essential to know where you are going and what you want to accomplish to avoid distraction.  Distracted tankers often become target practice.  My takeaway – You need a plan, and you need to work your plan each time you get ready for ‘battle’.  Don’t let distractions deter you from your goals. 

6.    Failure is an Option, Just Not a Goal – In battle, you learn from your mistakes and incorporate the experience for the future.  While no tanker wants to lose, all tankers lose from time to time.  Smart tankers learn from their mistakes.  My takeaway – Failure isn’t about making a mistake.  Failure is about making the same mistake all the time.

7.   Know Your Circumstances, Use Them to Your Advantage – Your circumstances can change in a second’s notice.  Your team is ahead; then, your opponents counter-attack and your team is behind.  Your tank gets damaged, and your mobility is reduced.  Smart tankers are adaptable and adjust their plans accordingly.  My takeaway – You cannot plan for every situation to come, but you can be mostly aware of the situation you are in and adjust your plan to make sound decisions.

8.   No Tank is Perfect – In battle, the bigger tanks have the bigger guns and the better armor, but  bigger tanks are also slower tanks and cannot turn or rotate as fast as their smaller and lighter counterparts.  Smart tankers know these strengths and weaknesses and adjust their plans accordingly.  My takeaway – Being successful sometimes depends on choosing the path best suited to your current tool set and not necessarily the path best suited to your skill set.

9.   Understand Your Competition – In WoT, you have the opportunity to repeatedly play a battlefield as an attacker or a defender; from the north or the south; and from the east or the west.  As such, you see how other tankers play.  And you see where other tanks go and where other tanks attack and how other tanks defend.  Smart tankers work to understand their competitors so as to predict and mitigate their opponents’ plans.   My takeaway – The best defense is a good offense.

10.   Have Fun – I enjoy WoT because I like the competition; I like the interaction with other players; and I like the concept of challenging myself to improve from battle to battle.  Sitting in a tank (for some odd reason) helps me unwind from a long day at the office.  My takeaway – When you find something you enjoy, take the time to do it.  For the fans and customers of CodeWeavers, look for us to continue development in CrossOver to better support World of Tanks on the Mac and Linux platforms.  And good luck to my fellow tankers.  I’ll be looking for you out on the many battlefields (most likely through the cannon scope of my tank).  BANG!

CodeWeavers CrossOver 12.2.0 has been released for Linux and Mac

Here is the release announcement from Josh Dubois...

Hello all,

 I am pleased to announce the release of CodeWeavers CrossOver 12.2.0 for both Mac OS X and Linux.  We have made many substantial improvements to CrossOver since our last release.

 In this release, as in our last one, we have made Quicken more stable and usable.  We have made improvements to some games running in full-screen mode, including Wizard 101.  We have improved the stability of Office 2007, and fixed a bug with running applications that rely on the .Net 4.0 Framework.  For Chinese-language speakers, we have fixed a bug which caused Traditional Chinese to be used even when a user's preferences were set to Simplified Chinese.

 On the Mac OS, we have continued to improve our new Mac Driver technology. This release includes support for drag and drop in the Mac Driver, as well as changes which should improve the visual experience and reduce window flicker.  The Mac Driver is maturing rapidly and will be the default option in our next major release. All experienced CrossOver users are invited to turn it on and see how it works.

 With the recent release of Ubuntu 13.04, we experienced another bug which caused CrossOver to fail to register itself.  This release fixes that, and is back-dated so any user who had support when 13.04 was released a few days ago will be able to download and install CrossOver 12.2.0.

 Lastly, for any interested games, the Dungeons and Dragons Neverwinter beta started today and it is running in CrossOver 12.2.0.  

 As always, if you are an existing customer with an active support entitlement, you can download our latest version from <http://www.codeweavers.com> and use it.  Mac customers who have automatic updates enabled and who are entitled to this update will receive it automatically.  

 If CrossOver 12.2 asks you for registration credentials, use the same email and password which you used to purchase CrossOver from <http://www.codeweavers.com>.  If you have any trouble, email info@codeweavers.com for help.

 A complete changelog for CrossOver 12.2 is included below.

 Thank you all for your support, and we hope you enjoy CrossOver 12.2!

Codeweavers working on wine for Google Android operating system

Codeweavers is working on wine for android

‘CodeWeavers‘ is working on an Android version of Wine, the program for Unix-based operating systems that makes running Windows applications possible. The lead developer of Wine demonstrated recently at the meeting in Brussels at Fosdem. So we must ask is Wine and CrossOver for iOS also in the works?

When Wine for Android is released, users of smartphones and tablets with Google’s mobile operating system software can easily run games and applications that was originally made for Windows. The Android version of Wine is not nearly finished. According to the briefing represented in Brussels, Wine on Android is still extremely slow.

Change Log For CrossOver

12.1.1 CrossOver - January 25, 2013

• Mac OS X:
  • Resolved an issue where CrossOver would not register via a serial code.

12.1.0 CrossOver - January 23, 2013

• Mac OS X:
  • We have fixed a bug where certain users who chose "Register for all users of this computer" during CrossOver's registration would receive an error claiming their bottle had "expired" and could not be used, despite the user having a valid CrossOver license.
  • We have added a preference setting allowing the user to control what CrossOver does with an unknown Windows .exe file when it is launched. Using this preference, the user can tell CrossOver either to treat the unknown .exe file as an application installer, or to simply run it.
  • CrossOver will now auto-update CrossTie files if the user has permitted auto-updates of CrossOver itself via Sparkle.
  • Fixed a bug where automatic updates via Sparkle would fail for some users on OS X 10.6.8.
  • Fixed a bug which caused several games to fail when running in fullscreen mode. Games which should be improved include StarCraft, Fallout, and, we hope, many others.
  • Fixed a bug which prevented some users from logging into World of Tanks servers.
• Linux:
  • Running Guild Wars 2 on Ubuntu 12.04 with CrossOver 12 triggered a bug in the Compiz window manager which caused a CPU spike. We have added a registry key which can be used to disable the feature which caused Guild Wars 2 to trigger this bug, thus making the game playable with Compiz on Ubuntu.
  • Fixed an issue where the screen would go blank during the installation of some programs.
• CrossOver:
  • CrossOver no longer ships Wine-Mono, an open-source replacement for .Net, by default. We had started doing this for CrossOver 12 but the large increase in download size and disk space usage proved too much. CrossOver can still download and install Wine-Mono as-needed.
  • We have fixed a bug which caused CrossOver to print unnecessary error messages when launching Windows applications, complaining that certain icon files could not be found.
  • New translations for Polish & Chinese (China), and a partial translation for Italian.
• Application Support:
  • Fixed connection errors with Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 when connecting to hosted Exchange servers.
  • Fixed a bug which caused adding a table of contents to a Microsoft Word document to fail.
  • Fixed an issue where Quicken failed to download WebConnect and QFX files.
  • Fixed an issue where Quicken crashed viewing investment details.
  • Fixed an issue where Quicken crashed when expanding columns in reports.
  • Fixed a bug which caused clicking on a promotional offer in Quicken to crash.
  • Fixed some connection failures with Quicken 2011.
  • Fixed an issue where rotated text was garbled in PowerPoint 2010.
  • Fixed a bug selecting shapes in Visio 2010.
  • Fixed a crash on launch in HCFA-1500.
