Download Wine 1.3.29

A new development build of Wine was released on Friday. Wine is an open source implementation of the Windows API. This makes it possible to run Dos and Windows programs on Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris, among others. 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 the help of minor adjustments, contains 17,402 titles at the time of writing, 64 more than at the time of version 1.3.28. Below you will find everything that has been changed and improved in this release.

What’s new in this release:

• Extensive support for VBScript.
• Various improvements to the calendar common control.
• A number of XRender fixes and optimizations.
• Several new functions in the MSVCP runtime.
• A number of audio fixes.
