The last Wine review I made was to 1.0RC2 (release candidate 2), in which I already tested World of WarCraft, mIRC and DC++. I had no issues with World of WarCraft (tested using a trial account) which performs very well, without any visible problems, DC++ has minor stability problems and the mIRC scripts editor crashes, but otherwise, mIRC behaves good enough.
I like to play an occasional game of dota, the famous Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne mod, with my friends. It works perfectly with wine since I can remember (so, probably feisty). You don’t even have to install it using wine, just launch your windows installation and your fine. In fact, I kept my initial Warcraft III installation all the time in my ~/.wine directory and never had any problems.

Well it has finally come to pass after long hours and lots of hard work...

his is the 352 issue of the World Wine News publication. Its main goal is to prepare the world for WineConf 2008. It also serves to inform you of what's going on around Wine. Wine is an open source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. Think of it as a Windows compatibility layer.
Wine Technology advances at a rapid rate, in the last month we have seen two updates to Wine 1.1.33 and 1.1.34. Many of us like to stay using the latest and greatest Wine software with good reason each new version typically fixes issues and improves performance however on occasion a new Wine release will suffer from some regressions...
