Proton 4.11-1 has been released

 Proton 4.11-1  has been released

• Rebased Proton patches on top of Wine 4.11. This brings more than 3300 improvements from Wine into Proton. 154 patches from Proton 4.2 were upstreamed or are no longer needed.
• Proton now ships with D9VK v0.13f. D9VK is an experimental Vulkan-based Direct3D 9 renderer. It must be enabled by the user with the PROTON_USE_D9VK user setting.
• Proton now includes experimental support for futex-based in-process synchronization primitives, which can reduce CPU usage compared to esync. For now, this requires special kernel support. See this forum thread for testing instructions.
• The display's current refresh rate is now reported to games.
• Update DXVK to v1.3.
• More window management and mouse cursor focus fixes.
• Fix for joystick input lag and rumble support in certain games, especially Unity titles.
• Support for the latest OpenVR SDKs.
• Update FAudio to 19.07.
• Fix for networking in GameMaker games.
• Many Wine modules are now built as Windows PE files instead of Linux libraries. As work in this area progresses, this will eventually help some DRM and anti-cheat systems. If you build Proton locally, you will likely need to re-create the Vagrant VM to build PE files.

It Supports different types of Network Protocols such as SSH, FTP, SCP, Telnet etc. In Windows it is used as SSH Client to connect to Your Linux server or for some other purpose But what will you do if you are on Mac?

Supported Protocols:

• Telnet
• FTP
• SFTP
• SSH
• SCP

About WinOnMacs:

There is a multitude of software developed only for the Windows operating system and even when software vendors port their applications to another platform, generally it lacks features that the Windows version contains. The only solution these developers face is to have access to both systems for testing which leads to increased infrastructure demands, and wasted project resources. Our goal is to have native ports of essential Windows tools and applications made available for MacOS users.

Version 9.1.1 New Features:

• macOS 10.14.5 Mojave support
• Minor bug fixes

We now use FastSpring as our preferred storefront, you can pay with Credit / Debit Cards, PayPal, Amazon payments, Wire Transfer etc. etc. This store is very secure, simple and fast.
