CodeWeavers released CrossOver 19.0.0 for Linux and MacOS

CodeWeavers just released CrossOver 19.0.0 for both macOS and Linux!

The capstone of CrossOver 19 is the new ability to run 32 bit Windows applications within a 64 bit process.  This enables us to support 32 bit Windows applications on the new macOS release, Catalina, which removed all support for 32 applications in October.

This has been a remarkably difficult challenge, and I appreciate everyone's patience with us as we strove to make this happen.  I particularly want to call out and celebrate the work of Ken Thomases, the senior developer  at CodeWeavers who has worked tirelessly on this for the past year and a half.

In addition to that change, CrossOver’s core technology Wine has been updated to bring much of the developments of the past year to all of our users on both Mac and Linux.  These changes include over 5,000 individual improvements, all of which will act together to improve the end user experience with CrossOver.

We have improved installation compatibility with recent Linux distributions and also taken the step of upgrading CrossOver to rely on Python 3...

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

  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.

  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.

​How to run Windows apps on your Chromebook

Have you ever heard someone with a new Chromebook complaining because they couldn't run their favorite Windows application on it? I have. Now, there's a solution for them (or, for you, so you can run that one Windows application you can't live without). For years, CodeWeaver's CrossOver enabled you to run many popular Windows applications on Linux and macOS. Now, CodeWeavers is bringing those same Windows apps to your Chromebook.

Better still, the beta CrossOver on Chrome OS promises to be easier to use than ever before. Previously, you had to jump through hoops to get Windows apps running on a foreign platform. With CrossOver for ChromeOS, you type in the Windows app's name, pick it from a list when it shows up, make sure you have the installation media, and hit install. Nothing could be easier.

CrossOver won't run all Windows programs, but it runs many of them. For example, its supported Windows applications include Microsoft Office and Quicken. CrossOver also runs games. These include such popular massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) games as World of Warcraft and Guild Wars.

CrossOver on Chrome OS is still a beta. While I could run some of my favorite simple programs on it, like NotePad++, a source-code editor on it, I couldn't run others. For instance, while I could install Microsoft Office 2016 on my 2015 Chromebook Pixel, Office wouldn't run on it.

Games that lock the mouse, such as first-person shooters, won't work either. That's because the required application programming interface (API) isn't in Chrome OS' current version of Android. It's expected to be added shortly. Video-heavy programs that require OpenGL also aren't supported. This is because Android only supports OpenGL ES, which is an OpenSL subset.

So, I can't recommend switching to a Chromebook to run Windows applications yet. But, the beta download is free, and it's certainly worth trying. Well, it's worth giving a shot if you have a Chromebook that supports Android. You see, CrossOver on Chrome OS is really Chromebook on Android. That means you need a newer Chromebook.

Jeremey White, CodeWeavers' founder, explained the Android connection happened because: "We've been experimenting with Android support for the past four years ... There have been a lot of challenges - and a lot of challenges remain. For example, we poured a lot of energy into making Windows applications work on a variety of Android form factors, including phones and tablets. But the brutal truth is that if I give you, say, Microsoft Word, on your phone, you'll fairly quickly figure out that you don't really want the Windows version of Word on your phone. Your fingers can't operate the menus." But, then, he said, "With the announcement of support of Android in Chrome OS, suddenly things made a lot more sense. A Chromebook has a big enough screen. And a keyboard and a mouse. And often, an Intel processor. What's more, it's really handy to have Quicken or Wizard 101 or your favorite Windows application right there."

It doesn't have to be a powerful Chromebook to run Windows apps on a Chromebook, although it must have an Intel processor. That's because CrossOver uses Wine, a lightweight program that's been used for decades now to run Windows programs on macOS, Linux, and Unix. It does this by creating a Windows API compatibility layer. This enables you to install and run 32-bit Windows software without actually running Windows.

The WineHQ Wine stable release 2.0 is now available for Linux and Mac

The WineHQ Wine stable release 2.0 is now available for Linux and Mac

The Wine team is proud to announce that the stable release Wine 2.0 is now available.
This release represents over a year of development effort and around 6,600 individual changes. The main highlights are the support for Microsoft Office 2013, and the 64-bit support on macOS.
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.

This is the first release made on the new time-based, annual release schedule. This implies that some features that are being worked on but couldn't be finished in time have been deferred to the next development cycle. This includes in particular the Direct3D command stream, the full HID support, the Android graphics driver, and message-mode pipes.

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 2.0
======================


*** Text and fonts

- More DirectWrite features are implemented, including:
  - Drawing of underlines.
  - Renderer sees drawing effect associated with text segment.
  - Support for color fonts in COLR/CPAL format.
  - Initial font fallback support, builtin data for some of CJK ranges.
  - Support for Wine-specific font replacement registry settings.
  - Improved font metrics resolution in case of incomplete or
    ambiguous font data.
  - Support for EUDC font collection based on current registry
    settings.

- Font embedding in PDF files is supported.

- The RichEdit control supports bulleted and numbered lists.

- Bold glyphs can be synthesized also for bitmap fonts.

- Character tables are based on version 9.0.0 of the Unicode Standard.


*** Graphics

- Window, bitmap and GDI DC render targets are implemented in Direct2D.

- A wide range of optimizations make the DIB engine noticeably faster.

- GDI graphic paths are reimplemented for better compatibility; they
  are also supported with enhanced metafiles.

- Gradients are supported in GDI enhanced metafiles.

- Metafiles are better supported in GdiPlus.

- The macOS graphics driver supports a high-resolution ("Retina")
  rendering mode. It can be enabled by setting "RetinaMode" to "Y"
  under HKCU\Software\Wine\Mac Driver.


*** User interface

- The clipboard support is reimplemented for better compatibility;
  copy & paste of HTML text is also improved. Drag & drop works more
  smoothly.

- In desktop mode, the taskbar displays running applications and
  allows switching between them.

- Version 4 of the system tray notification protocol is implemented.

- In desktop mode, some less common display resolutions like 640x400
  and 1280x960 are supported.

- More user interface elements scale correctly with high-DPI screens.


*** Direct3D

- More Direct3D 10 and 11 features are implemented, including:
  - Several more shader model 4 and 5 shader instructions.
  - Several more resource formats.
  - Integer vertex shader inputs.
  - Typeless resources.
  - sRGB read/write support.
  - Depth and stencil clears.
  - Depth-only draws.
  - Array textures.
  - Index buffer offsets.
  - Unordered access views.
  - Primitive restart.

- The WineD3D graphics card database recognizes more graphics
  cards. When available, the GLX_MESA_query_renderer GLX extension is
  used to provide more accurate information about the graphics card.

- The (system) memory layout of texture resources more closely matches
  Windows. This affects applications that write beyond the bounds of a
  MIP-level, like for example League of Legends.

- The implementation of non-maskable multisample anti-aliasing is more
  correct. In particular, when the ARB_internalformat_query extension
  is available, only quality levels corresponding to specific sample
  counts supported by the OpenGL implementation are reported to the
  application.  Previously, reporting a large number of non-maskable
  multisample anti-aliasing quality levels would break some
  applications.

- Direct3D 11 feature levels are supported.

- Retrieving a GDI device context from DXGI surfaces is
  implemented. This is used for rendering to DXGI surfaces using GDI.

- More DXGI swapchain methods are implemented, particularly those
  relating to switching display modes and switching to and from
  fullscreen.

- When ARB_clip_control and ARB_viewport_array are both supported,
  position fixups are slightly more efficient.

- The APPLE_client_storage extension is no longer used. It caused more
  problems than it solved.

- New HKCU\Software\Wine\Direct3D registry keys:
  - "CheckFloatConstants" (REG_SZ).
    Setting this to "enabled" enables additional run-time bounds
    checking on relatively addressed shader constant access. This
    helps some (broken) applications, but comes at a performance cost.
  - "MaxShaderModelHS", "MaxShaderModelDS" and "MaxShaderModelCS" (REG_DWORD).
    These limit the maximum supported shader model for hull, domain,
    and compute shaders respectively, analogous to the existing
    "MaxShaderModelVS", "MaxShaderModelGS", "MaxShaderModelPS"
    keys. Note that these shader types are new in shader model 5, so
    setting this to anything lower than 5 will effectively disable
    them.
  - "SampleCount" (REG_DWORD).
    Setting this registry key will force the multisample anti-aliasing
    sample count to the specified value for swapchain render
    targets. This allows anti-aliasing to be forced on applications
    that do not otherwise support anti-aliasing themselves, but may
    have no effect or break the application depending on the specific
    application.


*** DirectDraw

- Retrieving a GDI device context from a DirectDraw surface is
  implemented in a more accurate way. In particular, retrieving a GDI
  device context for a "client memory" surface will retrieve a GDI
  device context that's backed by that same client memory.

- A number of fixes related to vertex transformation in early
  DirectDraw versions have been made.


*** D3DX

- The support for the D3DX 9 effect framework is more complete, in
  particular:
  - There is initial support for preshaders.
  - Many more effect states are correctly applied.

- D3DX 10 and 11 asynchronous data loaders are implemented.

- The d3dx9 DLLs no longer forward to d3dx9_36, but are built from the
  same source instead.

- The d3dcompiler DLLs no longer forward to d3dcompiler_43, but are
  built from the same source instead.


*** Sound and video

- GStreamer version 1.0 is supported for audio and video streams.

- DirectSound supports downmixing from 5.1 and 4.0 formats to stereo.


*** Internet and networking

- The Web Services API is supported. The XML reader and writer are
  implemented, along with support for serializing many common data
  types. Basic support for making SOAP calls is also included. This
  enables Microsoft Office 2013 online activation.

- The Gecko engine is updated to the version from Firefox 47.

- IDN name resolution is supported.

- Various SHA hashes are supported using GnuTLS.

- Looking up the host address prioritizes non-loopback interfaces,
  which fixes a number of networked games.

- XML writing is faster for large files.

- Winsock supports the IP_DONTFRAGMENT socket option.

- Long URLs are handled correctly.

- JavaScript performance is improved. JSON is also supported.


*** Internationalization

- There is proper support for the Persian locale.

- Uniscribe better supports right-to-left languages.

- Japanese Hiragana, Katakana and full-width/half-width character
  mapping is implemented.


*** 64-bit support

- 64-bit applications are supported on macOS.

- The Mono engine has 64-bit support.

- C++ exceptions are handled correctly on x86-64, including nested
  exceptions and collided unwinds.

- The debug registers are supported on x86-64.


*** Built-in applications

- The 'winebrowser' helper application supports multiple arguments to
  invoke the host browser or mailer.

- The 'reg' command-line registry utility supports the 'query'
  command, all registry data types, and has more robust command line
  handling.

- The 'winhlp32' help viewer properly displays tables and images.

- The 'wineconsole' tool better supports East-Asian fonts. Color
  handling is also improved.


*** Build environment

- Import libraries can optionally be built as static libraries
  similarly to Windows, instead of .def files. This avoids the need
  for a separate .def.a library file.

- The IDL compiler supports "midl_pragma warning" directives.

- Cross-compilation with the Mingw-w64 Clang and ARM toolchains is
  supported.


*** Kernel

- A new driver architecture is in place for supporting HID devices.
  This follows the Windows model, with platform-specific bus drivers
  and HID minidrivers. It will be used in future releases to unify
  support for HID devices, and potentially also for USB device
  support.

- Loading multiple kernel drivers inside the same user-mode process is
  supported. This is used for HID drivers.

- A directory cache is implemented, to allow returning files in the
  expected order and avoid relying on platform-specific system calls.

- Many more API Set libraries (the oddly-named api-ms-win-* dlls) are
  implemented.

- Interrupt 0x2d (used for debugger checks) is emulated.


*** Miscellaneous

- Read interval timeouts are supported for serial ports.

- Variables starting with 'QT_' are filtered from the Unix environment
  since they may have unwanted effects on Qt-based Windows
  applications.

- Support for joystick button mapping and force feedback effects is
  improved.

- Many stream classes are implemented in MSVCIRT, the old I/O stream
  C++ runtime.

- Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) implements some more WBEM
  classes.

- Most remaining OpenMP functions are implemented.

- Uninstallation support in MSI is improved.


*** New external dependencies

- libudev is used for HID device support.

- GStreamer version 1.0 is used instead of version 0.10.

- GnuTLS version 2.10 or higher is required for the SHA hashing
  functions to be supported.


*** Configuration changes

- A number of DLLs are now built separately from a common source,
  instead of forwarding to a master DLL. This means that native DLL
  overrides need to be set on the specific version of the DLL being
  loaded, instead of the master one. This applies to the d3dx9_*,
  d3dcompiler_*, xaudio2_*, xapofx1_* and x3daudio1_* DLLs.


*** Release numbering

- Starting with 2.0, version numbering will change: stable release
  updates will follow the existing scheme: 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.0.3, etc.
  but the developemnt branch will drop the intermediate number: the
  releases will be numbered 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, etc. leading to the next
  stable release, which will be called 3.0.

Vineyard Wine Configuration Application for Linux has been released

Wine version handling, better 64-bit support and bug-fixes!

Vineyard for Ubuntu and Linux has seen some development during the past few weeks and has received bug-fixes and new features! Some of the more advanced functionality – that was previously only supported by editing the wrapper.cfg file – is now easily accessible!


Here’s a list of some the most visible changes:
  • Creating a prefix has been overhauled:
    • You can now choose between creating a 64-bit or 32-bit prefix.
    • A specific version of Wine can be selected to be used for the prefix.
    • Installed versions of Wine are auto-detected (looks through $PATH, /opt and PlayOnLinux folders).
    • Progress indication works (finally).
  • 64-bit support is now auto-detected from the Wine version.
  • The main tab now shows which Wine binaries/version and arch (64/32-bit) is used.
  • The “Run executable” tool works again for .exe files in modern distros.
  • Added newer versions of MS Visual C++ to install list.
  • Launching a terminal in a prefix now works correctly again.
  • The menu icon has been changed to the modern gtk menu icon.
And since a picture is worth a thousand words:

The new prefix creation dialogue

New builds in the PPA

I’ve overhauled the packaging of Vineyard, and we now have builds back up for all LTS (long term support) Ubuntu releases going back to 12.04 (Precise) as well as for 15.10 (Wily) and 16.04 (Xenial). 16.04 deprecated the python-support package in favor of dh-python (in line with Debian), so Vineyard can now be built using both.

The name of the vineyard-testing PPA has also been changed to “PPA for Vineyard” as it really is the current stable PPA; the link is the same, so there’s no need to change your APT configuration.
