Wine 1.1.27 Released With New Support

Posted by Michael Larabel on August 07, 2009

Three weeks have passed since the release of Wine 1.1.26, but having an extra week has not led to any particularly great changes within the just-released 1.1.27 version. What has changed in Wine 1.1.27 is a new version of the Gecko web rendering engine, GSM 06.10 codec support, improved support for the disk volume APIs, and support for XShm pixmaps to improve the graphics performance. There is also the usual assortment of bug fixes.

The Wine 1.1.27 release announcement can be read at WineHQ.org.
