Posted By Ricky Laishram On July 3, 2010 @ 12:14 pm In Open Source Software | No Comments
The sixth release candidate of Wine 1.2 has been released. This release bring about a number bug fixes and some translation updates.
Wine is an application which allows Microsoft Windows programs to run in Unix-like operating systems (Linux, BSD, Solaris etc.).
Wine 1.2 was originally scheduled for release last month but it ran into a number of troubles in the way. Since the fifth release candidate, Wine 1.2 RC6, includes 42 new bug fixes. However there are still 48 other known bugs still left. Unless all these remaining bugs are fixed, the final release is unlikely. You can see the list of remaining bugs here [1].
You follow the instructions given here [2] to install Wine 1.2 RC6 in Ubuntu 10.04.
If you are using Fedora, install instructions can be found here [3].
