About Wine Reviews:

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.

Putty for Mac 8.6.0 status on OS X 10.10 Yosemite

Over the past month Putty4Mac has received a higher then average number of orders and with the new influx of users we became aware of a number of outstanding bugs. Thanks in part to user feedback and testing the software in every imaginable manner or situation possible.

As of today, after a month of testing and bug fixing we believe PuTTY is now as stable and runs as well on OS X 10.10 as any other macOS operating system release.
