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.
