Running PuTTY for Mac on a Retina 5K Display

I have had a few people ask me recently if Putty for Mac would run on their Retina Display and after doing some test I can happily say it runs perfectly fine. Their is however one minor outstanding issue, PuTTY won't run at ultra-high resolution at this time. Now back to working on the upcoming PuTTY for Mac 9.0.0 release.  :)

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.
