WineBottler 1.7.37 has been released

Fixed OpenGL and X11 fallback

This update comes with
  • fix for the X11 fallback (missing dylib).
  • fix for code signing on OS X 10.10 – that should allow you to install WineBottler without lowering your security-settings.
And it is pushing Wine.app to 1.7.37.

Wine changelog: winehq.org

There will be an update to the stable branch of WineBottler and Wine.app, based on Wine 1.6.2 and all the new WineBottler features that appeared since WineBottler 1.6.1 came out.
That said, I will land some major changes to the unstable branch starting next week :) .

riotRunning Notepad++ 6.7.3 on WineBottler on OS X Yosemite.

As usual: head over to winebottler.kronenberg.org and download your copy :) .

enjoy!
