Wine version handling, better 64-bit support and bug-fixes!
Vineyard has seen some development during the past few weeks and has received bug-fixes and new features! Some of the more advanced functionality – that was previously only supported by editing the wrapper.cfg file – is now easily accessible!
Here’s a list of some the most visible changes:
- Creating a prefix has been overhauled:
- You can now choose between creating a 64-bit or 32-bit prefix.
- A specific version of Wine can be selected to be used for the prefix.
- Installed versions of Wine are auto-detected (looks through $PATH, /opt and PlayOnLinux folders).
- Progress indication works (finally).
- 64-bit support is now auto-detected from the Wine version.
- The main tab now shows which Wine binaries/version and arch (64/32-bit) is used.
- The “Run executable” tool works again for .exe files in modern distros.
- Added newer versions of MS Visual C++ to install list.
- Launching a terminal in a prefix now works correctly again.
- The menu icon has been changed to the modern gtk menu icon.
And since a picture is worth a thousand words:
