Wine 1.4 Released

[wraggster]

Wine 1.4 was released today and includes support for a wide range of applications (http://appdb.winehq.org/), including Office 2010. There are some major architectural changes, including a built-in DIB engine for better graphics display and a new audio stack designed around the newer Vista / Win 7 system and integrated into the native audio system. Almost every other subsystem received substantial updates, including Direct3D, the Gecko-based web browsing components, and better internationalization. The release notes (http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-announce/2012-March/000234.html) contain more detail and you can download the source code (http://sourceforge.net/projects/wine/files/Source/wine-1.4.tar.bz2/download) now, or wait for packages (http://www.winehq.org/download) to appear soon."
