This is release 0.9.7 of Wine, a free implementation of Windows on Unix.
Wine is a translation layer (a program loader) capable of running Windows applications on Linux and other POSIX compatible operating systems. Windows programs running in Wine act as native programs would, running without the performance or memory usage penalties of an emulator, with a similar look and feel to other applications on your desktop.
What's new in this release :
- Directory change notifications can use inotify now.
- Hardware breakpoints in the Wine debugger.
- Beginnings of support for tape APIs.
- A bunch of improvements to the IDL compiler.
- Better scheme for mapping My Documents etc. to Unix directories.
- Lots of bug fixes.
