Download Wine 1.7.50

A new development build of Wine has been released with version number 1.7.50. Wine is an open source implementation of the Windows API and allows you to run DOS and Windows programs on Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris. 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 22,497 titles at the time of writing. This release includes the first steps to support Direct3D 11.

What’s new in this release:

• New version of the Gecko engine based on Firefox 40.
• First steps of the Direct3D 11 implementation.
• Better font matching in DirectWrite.
• Support for OpenMP on ARM platforms.
