Wine 1.2.1

Quick update:

First, Thank you very much for all the feedback, books and donations lately. I'm in the process of answering as many mails as time allows. For the books: Amazone does not give out the donators name, so forgive me, if I'm not able to thank you personally... I really appreciate it and I enjoy the reading - NO, this does not take away time from WineBottler 😉 .

Second, compiled Wine 1.2.1, you can find it here:

Third: WineBottler 1.2 and Wine 1.3.x builds are on hold until November. A big project of a customer hits a major milestone on October 27th. (That's the WorldDidact in Basel, Switzerland, if you happen to be close, meet us at the Ingold/profax booth 😉 ).

Yours
Mike

Finally: still causing trouble...
Adobe is updating flash at an increased rate. This leads to a lot of sha1 mismatches, as the winetricks team is always some hours behind an update. So your installation of ie6 or steam might fail because of that. I will remove Flash from the default installation in WineBottler 1.2. You'll be able to install it with WineTricks if needed.

Wine 1.2

So, Wine 1.2 is out now... faster than I thought.

It really became a lot more stable, but there are some new issues as well. Some noticed the black or garbage background of some icons and images. These are related to Apples X11. Upgrading XQuartz would be one possibility. For now I reverted the patch, that caused that behavior, until Apple updates it's X11.

Further refined the "theme" of MatthiasF, (it's applied by default). It was to dark, so a opted for the OS X unified look, by just darkening the Menubar. Menues ar now white and blue, and sport a bigger font... sorry, no Lucida Grande, yet.

Fixed some bugs with Winetricks.

Outlook
I will further develop "1.2" to refine some things. 1.2 will remain available on Tiger (0.4% users ;)). But 1.3.x will only be for Snow Leopard users (77% users), as a Leopard build would just combines the bad from Tiger and Snow Leopard.
I have nearly finished 1.2 of WineBottler, which should work on Snow Leopard and Leopard. Please bear some more hours/days with me.

Just update your current version of wine by selecting "Preferences..." from the Wine-Glass Icon in the Statusbar, or download it manually from
http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/wine/

Here is a list of all the libs and the changes to the libs.

Wine 1.2-rc7

Found the bugger that prevented me from building Wine. I did not test this very intensively, but according to WineHQ, this is going to be the last rc.

I've added a "theme" by MatthiasF, that matches the Leopard window-colors. It's a little bit darker 🙂

WineBottler 1.2 is coming along

WineBottler 1.2 is nearly finished, and I tought I share some screenshots of it 😀

There are still to many mails, so I've tried to further simplify WineBottler:
The Bottler itself has undergone some cosmetic changes and gained advanced features for the predefined and the custom bottles. I've added a lot of descriptions and explanations. There is a new installation mode, where you can copy multiple files to a custom app.

But the main change with the bottles is the customized X11.app I'm using now. It 'hides' X11. It provides a AppMenubar with a custom Menu "Applications", which carries entry for basic Wine tools. It allows to cmd-tab between apps. It sports a private "Working Copy" in ~/Library/Application Support/com.yourcompany.yourapp_[BOTTLEUNIQUEID]. For now, there is no "open with" and drag'n'drop support.

You see Faerie Solitaire, check it out http://subsoap.com/ if you are a Solitaire addict 😉 . If You feel like your app should be in the predefined section, or you need some help with creating a custom self-contained app, drop me a line.

I'm reinstalling 10.5 now, for some testing on Leopard. This release will only work on 10.5+.
