Hello friends As you may know, Wine (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator) is a software for running Windows applications on Linux machines.
is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on Linux, Mac OSX and BSD.
Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop.
Open Source
Wine will always be free software. Approximately half of Wine source code is written by volunteers, with the remaining effort sponsored by commercial interests, especially CodeWeavers, which sells a supported version of Wine.
What's new in this release
- Some more work on Direct2D support.
- Various improvements to RichEdit interfaces.
- Initial support for ICMP version 6.
- Various bug fixes.
