Wine is a free and open source software application that aims + to allow applications designed for Microsoft Windows to run on + Unix-like operating systems, such as &os;. The Wine/&os; Team + have continued to improve the experience of Wine under &os;.

+ +

During the fourth quarter of 2013, the team has kept Wine + updated by porting:

+ +

Stable releases: 1.6 and 1.6.1
Development releases: 1.7.4 through 1.7.8

+ +

The ports have included packages built for amd64 + (available through the Ports Collection).

+ +

The Wine ports have been kept up-to-date with the changes in + the Ports Collection, including some improvements:

+ +

Building with Clang by default (via USES=compiler:c11).
Conditional X11 support (on by default; allowing for + headless instances of Wine).
Staging support and other ports best practices.

+ +

Support in improving the experience of Wine on &os; is needed. + Key areas including fixing regressions, adding copy protection + scheme support and fixing regressions when using Wine under + &os;/amd64.

+ + + + Open Tasks and Known Problems (see links for the wiki + page). + &os;/amd64 integration (see links for the i386-Wine + wiki page). + Porting WoW64 and Wine64. + +
