Software update: Wine 0.9.5

In order to be able to run Windows programs on other operating systems as well, people started developing the Wine program years ago. Meanwhile, this program runs on the Linux and FreeBSD operating systems. The developers have released a new version of their own implementation of Microsoft’s Win32 Application Programming Interfaces (API). The list of changes from version 0.9.5 looks like this:

This is release 0.9.5 of Wine, a free implementation of Windows on Unix. What’s new in this release:

• A number of MSI fixes.
• More improvements to the IDL compiler.
• Lots of bug fixes.

Because of lags created by using mirrors, this message may reach you before the release is available at the public sites. Patches should be submitted to “[email protected]”. Please don’t forget to include a ChangeLog entry. If you submitted a patch, please check to make sure it has been included in the new release.

Wine is available thanks to the work of many people. See the file AUTHORS in the distribution for the complete list.
