Software Update: Wine 1.7.36

A new development build of Wine has been released with version number 1.7.36. Wine is an open source implementation of the Windows API. The software allows to run DOS and Windows programs on Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris. A large group of developers contribute to Wine and it has been decided to release a new so-called development version every two weeks instead of waiting for a number of new functions to be ready. A stable edition is published a few times a year. The database with applications that work under Wine, with or without minor adjustments, contains 22,104 titles at the time of writing. Below you will find everything that has been changed and improved in this release.

What’s new in this release:

• Some preliminary 64-bit support for Mac OS X.
• Support for configuring speakers in Winecfg.
• Improved support for Mac OS X Trash folder.
• Support for typographic features in DirectWrite.
