WineBottler 1.1.34 [updated]

Keep me going
give me coffee! Smoke 1 Smoke 2 Smoke 3

This build brings loads of bug-fixes and some small improvements... aswell as the latest and greatest from winehq.org.

winebottler.kronenberg.org
Or You can update directly over WineButtler.app and Wine.app. (remember to update both, as they can't yet cross-update).

Noteworthy changes, that I would be happy, if people could test them out:

  • Print support is working again. Wine should automatically recognize your CUPS printers.
  • The predefined/custom apps should work on non-english systems. Tested on German and French systems.
  • Added a small dialog when you double-click a windows file. Maybe add some warnings here?
  • There is a "startwine" script inside the package (inside the MacOS folder), which can be used to run wine from the command-line. It will handle X11 and all the paths. Use it like this: "./startwine some.exe /arguments"
  • I'm still looking for a proxy to test proxy support :D.
  • You can open all files with native OS X apps out of Total Commander. All credits go to Dominik R. Txs!

Find the changelog here.

Happy testing!

We have a little localization problem for non english systems.
Here's a workaround:

WineBottler 1.1.32.2

A small update for this weekend. It is only served over the autoupdate feature of WineBottler. For the impatient: Open Preferences->Updates->Check for Updates... 😀

Main changes

  • ie6/7/8 winetricks WinXP should be winxp
  • Support for command line arguments
  • Add program version

for full changelog.

There is some initial work done with proxies. You might try it. Start in the preferences by entering your data.
I've also tested a hidden X11 setup. The only problem with hiding X11 is, you can't bring the windows to front by cmd-tab or activating the wrapper app... ideas are welcome... and don't alter your Info.plist... you're altering a CodeSigned package 🙂 on SnowLeopard with all the trouble it brings.

Wiki and Ticket creation should now be enabled for registered users. Let's see if this is worth it or if I've to limit access again :D.

What's down the pipeline?

  • bugfixing
  • proxies
  • howtos & wiki
  • new predefined apps... suggestions are welcome

So?
Head down to WineBottler's new page at http://winebottler.kronenberg.org
grab a build - update it - and then happy testing 😀
Mike
