CodeWeavers CrossOver now has support for the Oculus Rift!
Well,
our internal testing builds do, anyway. Here at CodeWeavers, we're
excited about what virtual reality can bring to gaming and other
computing applications. The Oculus Rift
is currently the largest VR (Virtual Reality) headset available for
purchase, so we've decided to integrate support for it into CrossOver.
Once
we've released support in our public builds, playing Windows Oculus
games with CrossOver on your Rift will be just as easy as with any
native Mac OSX or Linux Oculus application. Integration between your
Windows Oculus application and your hardware should be seamless. We've
been "testing" ;) with a DK2 here in the office, and it's been an impressive experience.
Caveats? There's a couple. This is an experimental feature in CrossOver, and some games access the Rift hardware in a way that Wine doesn't yet support. We hope to have this repaired soon, but some particular applications may fail to detect the Rift hardware.
More worryingly, Oculus has decided to drop support for Linux and OSX.
While our Oculus integration works for now, it does depend on your
having a Linux or Mac OSX SDK, which is no longer supported by Oculus.
Depending on changes to future Windows Oculus SDK versions, we could
fail to support games built against those new SDKs.
But don't
lose hope! It would be difficult, but we could build support for the
Windows Oculus SDK in CrossOver. That's right: CrossOver could become
the only way to use the Oculus Rift on Mac OSX and Linux. But this is
all hypothetical. It depends on what Oculus decides to do for their
Linux and Mac users.
If you've got a Rift and are interested in trying out our support, contact our Caron at caron@codeweavers.com and ask for a nightly build. If you want more information about our solution for Oculus, contact our sales team at sales@codeweavers.com. We'd love to have your support and feedback.
We're
also interested in building support for other VR headsets. As soon as
some other headsets come on the market, like Valve and HTC's Vive headset or Microsoft's HoloLens,
we'll be thinking about adding support so you can have the freedom to
use your Windows VR games and applications on Linux and OSX.

tomorrow the coding period of the Summer of Code begins and I though it might be a nice idea to let the community know about the projects we've got this year. Actually, I though it would be even better if the student themselves wrote a short summary of their own project for the mailing list.
So, with no authority backing me, I'm kindly asking that. No need to write anything too fancy, just a few lines explaining what are you going to work on over the summer and maybe what are the expected benefits for Wine.
Thank you!

Hello!
Thank you for inviting
me to this opportunity! I will try my best to keep it short, though it
might be a bit long for some. There's a TL;DR at the end, though. :)
A
bit about myself. My name is Aaryaman Vasishta and I'm currently
studying in my third year of Computer Engineering in Pune Institute of
Computer Technology, India. My interests lie in game programming and
computer graphics.
My project focuses on implementing the rendering backend for the D3DRM API [1].
D3DRM
(Direct3D Retained Mode) is basically a scene graph API running on top
of Direct3D's Immediate Mode API. You can say it's more like a rendering
engine API which encapsulates Immediate Mode functionality in order to
make it easier for programmers to develop 3D scenes using it, making it a
possible competitor to OpenGL at the time.
At the moment wine's
implementation of this API is mostly full of stubs, and there's quite a
bit of work left before something can be drawn on the screen. My role
here mainly focuses on implementing object Creation/Initialization
functions for some of the main interfaces, mainly devices, textures and
viewports, all of which are COM based. If time permits, I will also work
on implementing some frequently used frames and lighting functions.
The
API is quite old (it has been removed since DX 8 SDK, and the dll
doesn't come included with vista onwards) but there are a few popular
games that used it. Namely, Lego Rock Raiders and Steel Beasts, and
applications as well, like FMS (Flying Model Simulator). So there is
some merit in working on this. Implementing these functions will help
accelerate further development of this API to get some long-awaited apps
to run on wine (I can see quite a few threads on google of people
trying to get FMS running, and a couple for LRR too, so there is some
demand for it). As an added bonus, I also get to interact with wine's
ddraw implementation for this one, which could potentially help ddraw's
implementation via possible bug detection/fixes and implementing any
ddraw functionality that d3drm requires.
TL;DR:
I'm implementing a main chunk of a graphics API called Direct3D
Retained Mode, which is based on Direct3D Immediate Mode. The API is
mostly a stub in wine and this project should help get things going.
Thank you!

Hello!
I'm glad to working on Wine GSoC this year. My project's focus is IHMLTXMLHttpRequest. Many websites would use hacks to determine whether the browser was IE6.0 or IE 7+. As XMLHttpRequest object identifier was shipped in IE 7.0[0], the web developers would use ActiveX to access IXMLHttpRequest object. Wine IE implements some new features, so it is common that Wine IE is treated as a IE 7+ browser(like Firebug Lite[1])
Mozilla has implemented nsIXMLHttpRequest[2], and my approach is to call the wine-gecko functions from wine code. I can't tell how many applications' status on appdb will change from "garbage" to "silver/gold", but IMHO, implementing XMLHttpRequest is necessary to make wine IE more usable.
Thanks
Iván Matellanes
Hi all!
I'm looking forward to contributing to Wine.
My project consists on implementing part of the legacy Visual C++
iostream runtime, which was shipped with Visual Studio versions up to
6.0 and is currently a stub. I'll work on as many functions as time
permits, and one of the key points is to reuse code from the modern
Visual C++ runtime library that is already implemented.
Some old applications and games (like MS Reader and Tron 2.0) would
benefit from this, as they would run with the built-in library. A quick
search on Bugzilla for 'msvcirt' shows several bugs related to
unimplemented functions.
Cheers,
Iván.

Hi, all.
Sorry for the late reply. I am happy to join this discussion.
My project
focuses on implementing all the functions from tr2 namespace, which
was included in the header and being proposed for
standardization. Though there are many methods to implement the functions like
_File_size and _Equivalent etc, the hard part is finding the most
appropriate one.
New applications like
MSVC12[1] would benefit from this.
Thank you!

Hi everybody!
As some of you have heard about it, we are seriously thinking about
the future version of PlayOnLinux (a.k.a. PlayOnLinux 5. The version 4
has a long history and the code contains stuff that makes it very hard
to maintain. We really need to have a more stable version if we want to
continue to give you the best. If we continue working on PlayOnLinux v4
we are assuming that:
PlayOnLinux will no longer have new features
PlayOnLinux may become completely broken one day
In this piece of news, I'm going to explain the option we
prefer, why are we prefering it and also we are going to ask you if you
agree or not.
Pleaseread the whole article before
complaining, trolling. It is a really important topic! Once you have
read everything and you understand the problem, fell free to send
comments and to vote.
As many of you may have heard, we are seriously thinking about
switching from Python to Java. I perfectly understand some concerns and
to be honest, I was the first to criticize Java even few months ago.
However there are several reasons that let us think that Java is the right choice for us:
Portability: We want PlayOnLinux to be
accessible on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Mac, ... and why not, being
prepared to run on ARM/Android devices later.
Maintenability
Java do a lot of things to force developers to do things great
Java is statically typed. It is a lot easier to do simple task like refactoring, code-checking, ...
I have recently discovered the tools that exists Java to measure
the code quality and the technical debt and to be honest, it is just
impressive. You may have a look at this end of this news (SonarQube)
Contributions
We've noticed that there were hardly any contribution for
PlayOnLinux v4 and we target to make some really infrastructure and
guidelines so that everyone contribute. (See "infrastructure" paragraph
at the end of this news)
PlayOnLinux is a lot more complex than just a GUI for wine. It
is mainly a set of tools allowing you to write very powerful scripts.
That is why it is a little more complicated than just a GUI for wine.
Responses to the main concerns
I don't want to install Oracle JDK or any closed program on my computer
We are going to guarantee you that PlayOnLinux v5 is compatible with OpenJDK (GPLv2)
PlayOnLinux will become very slow because Java is very slow
I can ensure you that this is wrong.
Java is a lot faster than Python in general (http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64q/python.html).
Moreover, the v4 branch has a lot of non optimal code. The tests we
have already done with Java is showing us than what we have developed so
fare behave a lot faster that PlayOnLinux 4. To be honest, there is only one drawback: the JVM takes a little more time to start than the python interpreter.
You should have used QT! That makes more sense.
You may be right, but I'm talking about the language here, not about
the graphical interface. So far, we've started to work with OpenJFX:
It is Open Source
It is customisable with some CSS
It supports GPU acceleration
We could support different skins for PlayOnLinux or imagine a Steam-Like interface. Everything is possible!
It is portable
Drawbacks
It may not be fully integrated with your Desktop theme
However, the design of PlayOnLinux v5 perfectly allows to
implement several user interface and let users chose the one they want.
So it is perfectly possible to implement a QT interface with QTJambi for
example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_Jambi. (But it is not a priority. A command line interface is more important)
Java applications are ugly, not integrated to the system.
You may be talking about Swing. In our case, we are planning to use different interfaces that look a lot better.
Java is insecure, there are so many security patches
The reason for that is that Java also has a "sandbox" mod which is
often used to allow browser to execute some Java code without the
approval of the user. We do not want to run PlayOnLinux on your web
browser, so that's fine if you disable your browser plugin.
Proposal of a new design
A image is better to start. We plan to replace bash script with python scripts.
Python scripts will be directly run by Java (yes it is possible thanks to Jython!).
We are going to get a small part of PlayOnLinux v4 code just for backward compatibility (after some cleanup of course)
A lot of effort are going to be made to ensure the good quality of the code.
So you plan to run Wine inside Bash inside python inside Java :-O.
Of course not, that is where Jython comes. Jython is not using your
system python at all! In fact it is a library that compile your python
code into Java class on runtime. Basically, it means than it can just
run your python script directly on the Java Virtual Machine without
depending on Python. In fact, there will be less layer than there are
today because the scripts will be able to execute Java codes directly
without needing to create any sockets or other stuff like that.
Tasks that have already been done so far
Infrastructure
We have set up two tools:
Jenkins (http://www.playonlinux.org:8080). This tool will periodically run unit tests to be sure that the code stays in a stable state
SonarQube (http://www.playonlinux.org:9000).
This tool will periodically scan the whole code to measure its quality.
It is a really powerful tool that is giving us precious advice.
We have developed the following component as a proof of concept. If
you agree with us, we are going to continue on that way to be able to
propose you the best version of PlayOnLinux in the next few months.
PlayOnLinux core
Dependency injection
Unit test
PlayOnLinux core script management (all keywords are not yet implemented though)
PlayOnLinux Python script compatibility
PlayOnLinux Legacy (v4) script compatiblity
Script exemples
Install window (with remote downloading)
Other important stuff
GPG Script signature check
Complete wine registry parser (it means that you are going to be able to browse the registry with a very few line of script)
Wine management: Create a prefix with a progressbar, ...
Filesystem management (Copy with progressbar, download with progressbar)
Conclusion
So far, I'm pretty confident that this version can perform a lot better than v4.
The core we have is a lot faster
The scripts are smoother
We have a really clean code (for the moment at least)
We have a really clean infrastructure
Some external people have already shown interest in contributing to v5 code (by sending small patches)
However, I want to have your opinion about this choice. Please
send the most comment as you can and talk freely. Please provide
arguments with your commentary so that we can progress.
Now the time has come to vote!

Oculus announced today that they will be dropping support for their Virtual Reality Oculus Rift platform on Mac and Linux due to the need to focus solely on the Windows platform for the foreseeable future. Here is the post from the Oculus site giving hardware specifications and the demise of Mac and Linux support.
Powering the Rift
About Atman Binstock:
Atman is Chief Architect at
Oculus and technical director of the Rift. Before joining, he was one of
the lead engineers and driving forces behind Valve’s VR project,
creating the ‘VR Room’ demo that garnered so much excitement at Steam
Dev Days. Prior to Valve, Atman led several projects at top companies in
the industry including RAD, DICE, and Intel.
Given the challenges around VR graphics performance, the Rift
will have a recommended specification to ensure that developers can
optimize for a known hardware configuration, which ensures a better
player experience of comfortable sustained presence. The recommended PC
specification is an NVIDIA GTX 970 or AMD 290, Intel i5-4590, and 8GB
RAM. This configuration will be held for the lifetime of the Rift and
should drop in price over time.
The Rift is specifically designed to deliver comfortable, sustained
presence – a “conversion on contact” experience that can instantly
transform the way people think about virtual reality. As a VR device,
the Rift will be capable of delivering comfortable presence for nearly
everyone. However, this requires the entire system working well.
Today, that system’s specification is largely driven by the requirements of VR graphics. To start with, VR lets you see
graphics like never before. Good stereo VR with positional tracking
directly drives your perceptual system in a way that a flat monitor
can’t. As a consequence, rendering techniques and quality matter more
than ever before, as things that are imperceivable on a traditional
monitor suddenly make all the difference when experienced in VR.
Therefore, VR increases the value of GPU performance.
At the same time, there are three key VR graphics challenges to note: raw rendering costs, real-time performance, and latency.
On the raw rendering costs: a traditional 1080p game at 60Hz requires
124 million shaded pixels per second. In contrast, the Rift runs at
2160×1200 at 90Hz split over dual displays, consuming 233 million pixels
per second. At the default eye-target scale, the Rift’s rendering
requirements go much higher: around 400 million shaded pixels per
second. This means that by raw rendering costs alone, a VR game will
require approximately 3x the GPU power of 1080p rendering.
Traditionally, PC 3D graphics has had soft real-time requirements,
where maintaining 30-60 FPS has been adequate. VR turns graphics into
more of a hard real-time problem, as each missed frame is visible.
Continuously missing framerate is a jarring, uncomfortable experience.
As a result, GPU headroom becomes critical in absorbing unexpected
system or content performance potholes.
Finally, we know that minimizing motion-to-photon latency is key to a
great VR experience. However, the last few decades of GPU advancements
have been built around systems with deep pipelining to achieve maximum
throughput at the cost of increased latency; not exactly what we want
for VR. Today, minimizing latency comes at the cost of some GPU
performance.
Taking all of this into account, our recommended hardware
specification is designed to help developers tackle these challenges and
ship great content to all Rift users. This is the hardware that we
recommend for the full Rift experience:
NVIDIA GTX 970 / AMD 290 equivalent or greater
Intel i5-4590 equivalent or greater
8GB+ RAM
The goal is for all Rift games and applications to deliver a great
experience on this configuration by default. We believe this “it just
works” experience will be fundamental to VR’s success, given that an
underperforming system will fail to deliver comfortable presence.
The recommended spec will stay constant over the lifetime of the
Rift. As the equivalent-performance hardware becomes less expensive,
more users will have systems capable of the full Rift experience.
Developers, in turn, can rely on Rift users having these modern
machines, allowing them to optimize their game for a known target,
simplifying development.
Apart from the recommended spec, the Rift will require:
Windows 7 SP1 or newer
2x USB 3.0 ports
HDMI 1.3 video output supporting a 297MHz clock via a direct output architecture
The last bullet point is tricky: many discrete GPU laptops have their
external video output connected to the integrated GPU and drive the
external output via hardware and software mechanisms that can’t support
the Rift. Since this isn’t something that can be determined by reading
the specs of a laptop, we are working on how to identify the right
systems. Note that almost no current laptops have the GPU performance
for the recommended spec, though upcoming mobile GPUs may be able to
support this level of performance.
Our development for OS X and Linux has been paused in order to focus
on delivering a high quality consumer-level VR experience at launch
across hardware, software, and content on Windows. We want to get back
to development for OS X and Linux but we don’t have a timeline.
In the future, successful consumer VR will likely drive changes in
GPUs, OSs, drivers, 3D engines, and apps, ultimately enabling much more
efficient low-latency VR performance. It’s an exciting time for VR
graphics, and I’m looking forward to seeing this evolution.
Last week I posted about CodeWeavers en-pending support for Oculus Rift on Mac and Linux see the original post here. So with this lasted announcement from Oculus it looks as tho CodeWeavers is going to be the only game in town to support Rift VR on Mac and Linux for the foreseeable future.

I just seen a Tweet from CodeWeavers
that they are working hard on Supporting the upcoming Oculus Rift VR
headset in their flagship CrossOver offerings on Linux and Mac. Here is a
post from SoftPedia about the Oculus Rift pending release.
After a long wait and
plenty of speculation, Oculus has just revealed the highly anticipated
consumer version of its Rift virtual reality headset, alongside a firm
release period of the first quarter of 2016.
Oculus amazed millions of gamers with the first
version of its Rift headset, which brought virtual reality in a pretty
great package, and quickly racked up millions in terms of crowdfunding
via Kickstarter.
After having unleashed not one but two different
developer early versions of the headset, the startup was acquired by
social media giant Facebook and started hiring even more experienced
staff to help bring the long-awaited consumer version of the Rift to
life.
The final Oculus Rift VR headset is coming in early 2016
Now,
after we heard a few recent rumors, Oculus confirms on its website that
the final version of the Rift has been nailed down in terms of design
and will arrive in the first quarter of 2016.
The announcement also confirms that pre-orders for
the highly anticipated devices are going to open up later this year so
that fans can make sure they get it as soon as possible.
According to Oculus founder Palmer Luckey, the Rift
encompasses not only a device but a full virtual reality ecosystem that
allows for an optimum experience even for newcomers or less technically
skilled users.
What's more, this final version of the device builds
on the Crescent Bay prototype by improving the head tracking to allow
for seated and standing users, but also comes with a better design and a
more natural fit, as you can see in the new render images below.
"The Rift delivers on the dream of consumer VR with
compelling content, a full ecosystem, and a fully-integrated
hardware/software tech stack designed specifically for virtual reality.
The Oculus Rift builds on the presence, immersion, and comfort of the
Crescent Bay prototype with an improved tracking system that supports
both seated and standing experiences, as well as a highly refined
industrial design, and updated ergonomics for a more natural fit," he
says.
More details about the hardware, software, and games
that will be made for VR using the Rift are set to appear in the near
future. The full tech specifications are already scheduled to surface
next week.

I'm coming up on my 13-year anniversary with CodeWeavers in the next couple months. And the question of the hour is: why did I decide to come to CodeWeavers, rather than staying in my previous role as an IT consultant? And was that a good call, particularly given that my livelihood is connected to an insanely difficult open-source technology like Wine?
Our fabulous parking lot. Note the shocking lack of BMWs and Porsches...
Flash back to the summer of 2002. I was working as an independent
business analyst, doing a gig at a large local real-estate firm. I was
making very good money. I was also
absolutely bored to
tears. So when Jeremy White came calling, saying he needed a right-hand
man to help him run CodeWeavers, and that he couldn't really pay me
hardly anything to start, and would I like an "opportunity" like that, I
honestly didn't hesitate much before saying "Why, yes! I would love an
opportunity to work for an obscure, struggling software company while
earning a lot less money, and a lot more aggravation!"
Fast-forward
to 2015, and here I am. Still. And CodeWeavers is still doing pretty
much the same thing: selling CrossOver. We're making more money, but not
tons more. And from a technical perspective, we're still
rolling a gargantuan rock uphill. Yeah, Wine has come a long way in
thirteen years. It runs a lot more stuff now. But it's still a colossal
pain in the butt to improve it. And not only that, but as more people
have adopted tablets and smartphones, the importance of the Windows
software marketplace has slowly diminished (sort of like my hairline),
meaning that the hard work we do is arguably less important now than it
was when I came aboard. Isn't that just awesome?

Hi all, we are proud to announce the 4.2.7 release of PlayOnLinux/PlayOnMac!
Among the visible changes, first a regression fix: "Install
non-listed applications" should now be visible all the
time, even while
the list of install scripts is being updated:
During installations, a small (i) information icon was already
showing up at the bottom of the wizard window for scripts that use
POL_SetupWindow_SetID; Clicking on it would lead users to the script
page on the web site. For scripts that support the embedded debugger
(scripts that use POL_Debug_Init), there will now also be a second icon
next to it to open the debugger window to show the installation log:
PlayOnLinux would display important informations at the beginning of
the first installation, but not show them again so you don't have to
click thru them with each installation. It will now display those
informations until you click "Don't remember me" (after actually reading
the messages of course!). This feature is also available for your own
install scripts, as the new statement POL_SetupWindow_notice:
The Wine versions manager display has been changed to display a small
lock (and bold text) for versions currently in use by some virtual
drives, so you can more easily remove the versions that are no longer
used:
Beside that, this version also contains its share of bugfixes and code cleanups, so here's the full changelog:
* Detect and abort scripts when trying to run 64bit programs with 32bit Wine
* POL_DetectVideoCards: list VGA compatible controllers and 3D controllers (#5012)
* Add support for several other value types than REG_SZ to registry
updating statements (#5013)
* POL_Wine_SelectPrefix: abort if no prefix name is provided
* Sort install scripts lists case insensitively (iTunes)
* Fix "hash-bang" line in shortcuts so they're actually executable
* Deprecate the usage of $REPERTOIRE in PlayOnLinux own code
* Translate remaining french comments and identifiers in Bash code
* Improve POL_Wine_PrefixDelete to remove ancillary resources (shortcuts, icons,...)
* Wine versions manager: attributes tell apart used versions instead of
unused versions; Add an extra warning when about to remove a version in use
* Avoid Python detection loops
* Display wx version found
* Fix Settings > Internet menu (#4989, thanks to rupert)
* Workaround for Wine bug #37575 (#5023)
* Improve find_binary function and make it public as POL_System_find_file
* Add support for .lnk, .bat and .cmd files to POL_Shortcut and POL_SetupWindow_shortcut_creator
* Added an icon to open the debugger from the installation wizard when
POL_Debug_Init has been called (#4948)
* Implement POL_SetupWindow_notice to display important messages, but
allow the user to acknowledge them once and for all ("Don't remind me") (#2036)
* POL_OpenShell (Configure > Misc > Open a shell) bug fixes
* Add a warning when OpenGL autotests are missing (user support)
* Make sure "Install non-listed application" link is always visible in

CodeWeavers is planning on releasing a technology preview for CrossOver
Android sometime this summer. This will give YOU the opportunity to try
it out and make suggestions as to how we can improve the CrossOver
Android experience and what Windows games and software we should focus
our efforts in supporting. Much like CrossOver Mac and CrossOver Linux,
our users will have a voice in the direction of the product. And even
more so than CrossOver for Mac and CrossOver for Linux, we believe that
this type of technology is incredibly compelling considering that you
can't run Microsoft Windows on an Android tablet – at all.
With more focus on making Windows games portable on Android devices,
it's possible that a whole new game experience is coming in the not so
distant future. Games with depth and real AI and multiplayer
functionality that create real excitement for
gamers. I'm excited to see the next evolution of gaming. But hey if that
doesn't work, we will always be able to fling disgruntled birds.

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 .
The installer for SimCity 4 Deluxe has been updated
to use the newest version of Wine, as well as having added Steam
support for newer purchasers of this fantastic, old-school game.
Improvements for Yosemite
Just a small update for WineBottler.
False positives for AV
As noted earlier, the no-op file winemenubuilder.exe triggered some anti virus checks. Starting with 1.7.34 it should pass them all.
Speaking of viruses
Please download WineBottler directly from
http://winebottler.kronenberg.org – there are some “download”-websites”
that bundle WineBottler into an installer that will install adware on your system, too.
UI Improvements
Tweaking the new look and adding it to the progress window.
Bugfixing
Fixed a bug, that prevented WineBottler from finishing custom Apps on some Yosemite Macs.
Pushing Wine.app to 1.7.34.
Wine changelog: winehq.org
If you should still have issues with AV or generating custom Apps still freezes for you, please let me know.
By the Way:
You can find news on WineBottler now on weibo and vk, too!
An update to the Adobe Photoshop CS6 installer has
just come out that fixes the missing fonts on certain systems. If you
were experiencing this issue, then you will want to delete your virtual
drive for PS, and reinstall using the official installer.

those Windows applications are installed.

Truth, and Xenonauts. CrossOver also runs thousands of other Windows

run on Unix-based operating systems without the need for Windows itself.

Enhanced Graphics.
Adobe Acrobat 10 and 11 will now install.
Users with certain non-Latin characters in their
codeweavers.com usernames can now successfully register CrossOver.
Linux:
CrossOver now depends on several additional packages, which
in turn allows more Windows applications to run without
further user intervention.
Certain Linux kernel versions (3.14 at least) broke support
for running 16-bit code. CrossOver cannot overcome this
limitation on its own. CrossOver now detects the situation
and informs the user about it, and will also succeed in
creating a win98 bottle on such a kernel.
