Download Wine 1.5.0

After last week’s stable release, another new development series of Wine has started. 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 18,214 titles at the time of writing. Below you will find what has been changed and improved in this release.

What’s new in this release:

• New version of the Gecko engine.
• Partial support for using the Trash on Mac OS X.
• Support for path gradients in GdiPlus.
