Wine 1.1.24 Released With New Improvements

Posted by Michael Larabel on June 19, 2009

A new development release of Wine is now available with a few prominent additions. Wine 1.1.24 introduces support for FreeDesktop.org file associations, support for 64-bit exception handling, improved ARB shaders, fixes for the FBO mode, and many ListView improvements. Of course, there is also the usual variety of bug-fixes. The ARB shader improvements and fixes to the Frame Buffer Object mode are exciting, from the graphics perspective.

The Wine 1.1.24 release announcement can be read at WineHQ.org.
