Download Wine 1.7.52

A new development build of Wine has been released with version number 1.7.52. 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 22,624 titles at the time of writing. Below you will find everything that has been changed and improved in this release.

What’s new in this release:

• Unicode data updated to Unicode 8.0.0.
• Some implementation of the Web Services DLL.
• More Direct3D 11 interfaces.
• A few more functions in the C++ runtime.
• Output standard glyph names in the PostScript driver.
