WINE 1.1.4 Released, Google Chrome Works

CadCrazy · 07-09-2008, 01:25 AM

The WINE community has announced the release of WINE 1.1.4, which is their latest development build made up of open-source work over the past two weeks. New in this release is a better implementation of WinHTTP, additional JavaScript support, the start of the shell AppBar implementation, fixes for Google Chrome support, Chinese translations, and various bug-fixes. What also makes this release special is the first WINE commit for improved testing on WINE through the Phoronix Test Suite. Stefan Dösinger has added a run-total FPS counter to the WINE debug channel in WINE 1.1.4 for us, which will allow us to better monitor the frame-rate within any WINE-powered benchmark. The release announcement can be read at WINE HQ.

Great. I am a regular reader of Phoronix, and I must say this is GREAT news.
But whats the point of running Google Chrome on this ?
Its better to wait for the Chrome Linux version.
The FPS Counter means a LOT to me. Thankyou Wine Team !
