Announcing CrossOver Plugin, version 2.1.0

[Jeremy White]

Hi Everyone,

I am pleased to announce that we have released
version 2.1.0 of CrossOver Plugin.

This release is primarily intended as a maintenance release;
it brings forward some of the internal system changes
we made for CrossOver Office so that the Plugin should
work on all Linux distributions again.

It also has a range of bug fixes, and supports updated
versions of various plugins.  A full changelog is in line, below.

Existing customers can obtain the update by visiting
www.codeweavers.com.  To get the file, log in with your 
email address, click on the 'My Account' tab on the upper right, 
and then select 'My Downloads' from the tab in the
left hand column.  Customers with expired support
periods and new customers can purchase either
a new license or a support extension here:
  https://www.codeweavers.com/site/store/
(if you're a returning customer be sure to log in to
take advantage of special deals for returning customers).

Note that this version does not support Quicktime 6.5, but it
more gracefully offers version 6.3 to end users.
We are working on a proper fix for 6.5, but felt that the
bug fixes in this release were critical enough that
we should not wait any longer.  We do continue working
on Quicktime 6.5.

Since this is largely a maintenance release, I would
strongly recommend to anyone with a stable and working
configuration to wait a while before updating.  That
will give us time to shake out any problems and concerns.

If you encounter problems or issues, please contact us
at plugin-support@codeweavers.com.  However, please note that
we will have reduced staff available for the next few days,
so bear with us as we will be slow in responding.  

I realize this is an odd time to cut a software release, but
we felt that the bug fixes in here were critical enough
to justify this release (Plugin 2.0.2 does not run on a number 
of 'new' distributions) -- but that doesn't
mean folks with working configurations should feel any
hurry to upgrade.

For those of you that celebrate Christmas, please consider
this your Christmas gift.  For the rest of you, consider it
a gift for the New Year <grin>.

Once again, we deeply appreciate all the support our customers
have given us throughout the year; your support has enabled
us to continue to thrive in 2003.  And we're looking
forward to really getting cooking in 2004...<grin>

Cheers,

Jeremy White

Full Changelog:

 * CrossOver Plugin 2.1.0 - 2003/12/22

   Support for all known versions of glibc, including the new
     Native Posix Thread Library (NPTL) interface.  This represents
     a major technical advance for Wine, as glibc instability has
     been a problem throughout 2003.

   Menu fixes for the latest versions of Gnome and KDE and the latest
     distributions out there.

   This version supports Flash Player 7, Authorware Web Player 7 and
     Cortona VRML 4.1.

   Significant improvements in Internationalization.

   General bug fixes:
     Many printing fixes, including full and proper support
       for the HP4000.
     Fix printing using gimp-print filters.
     Support for a kprinter entry in the printer list.
       (thanks for the suggestion, Josh)
     Numerous other border condition fixes and improvements.
     Bug fix with interaction with various clipboards, 
       including Klipper.

   CrossOver Setup:
     A bug fix for uninstalling Windows applications; this
       should allow many more Windows uninstallers to
       operate properly.
     Add an option to hide the system tray (for environments
       where Wine system tray integration does not work).
     A modest boost in performance in creating menus.
     Many other subtle improvements.
