Software Update: Wine 1.1.33

A new development build of Wine was released on Friday. Wine is contributed by a large group of developers, which is why it was decided to release a new build every two weeks, instead of waiting for a number of new features to be ready. Wine is an open source implementation of the Windows API. This makes it possible to run DOS and Windows programs on Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OS X, among others. The database with applications running under Wine, with or without some minor tweaks, it contains 12,990 titles at the time of writing, 127 more than when the previous release was released. Below you will find the changes and improvements that have been made this time:

What’s new in this release:

• Gecko now installed at wineprefix creation time.
• Better support for certificates in crypt32.
• Improved sound support in mciwave.
