Wine 1.3.0 Released
in [Freeware]
|
From: Gordon Darling on 2 Aug 2010 05:49 July 30, 2010 The Wine development release 1.3.0 is now available. What's new in this release: Beginnings of a user interface for the builtin Internet Explorer. Support for cross-process OLE drag & drop. New builtin wscript.exe (Windows Script Host) program. Open/save dialogs remember the last used directory. Translation updates. Various bug fixes. The source is available now. Binary packages are in the process of being built, and will appear soon at their respective download locations. http://www.winehq.org/ "About Wine Wine lets you run Windows software on other operating systems. With Wine, you can install and run these applications just like you would in Windows. Wine is still under active development. Not every program works yet, however there are already several million people using Wine to run their software. Open Source and User Driven Wine will always be free software. Approximately half of Wine's source code is written by volunteers. The rest is sponsored by commercial interests, especially Codeweavers who sell a supported version of Wine. Wine is heavily reliant on its user community. User tests fill our Application Database to track how well programs work, and all the answers in the forums come from volunteers."

Must be an Anglo-American thing then because we have the exact same blind spot (in a lot of local governments here). -- -Craig
