[CodeWeavers-Announce] Announcing CrossOver Office version 5.0.1, a bug fix release

[Jeremy White]

Hi Folks,

I'm happy to announce that we are now shipping version 5.0.1 of
CrossOver Office.

This version is a bug fix release from version 5.0.0.
We had a number of minor glitches that we felt were important
to release to our customers.

These include fixes for Notes (bouncing windows), fixes
for Office install issues (e.g. spellchecker), and a lot of
other minor problems that bothered us; a full changelog
is included in this email, below.

It also includes a fix which prevents the EMF exploit
from working in Wine; many thanks to Marcus Meissner
for his speedy fix to Wine to that end.

We have a fix for ipod support that we decided to exclude
from this release because we worried that it might break
other programs.  However, we are going to put up a FAQ
on our web site in the next day or two to give interested
customers a workaround.

As always, if you are happy with your current version of
CrossOver, please do not rush out to upgrade to version 5.0.1.
However, we did take some care to make 5.0.1 a nice stable
upgrade, so it should be safe.

I'd like to thank the many people that helped with this
release, including our customers, with their excellent
problem reports, our beta testers (thanks guys!),
the broader Wine community, and especially to Andrew Bogott,
for his diligent and somtimes lonely work on seeing this
release out the door.

At any rate, to download this version, simply visit our web site,
www.codeweavers.com, and log onto our store system
using the email you used to purchase the software with.
If you don't have your password, the system will email it to you.

Once logged in, you should be able to go to 'My Downloads'
to download this release, presuming you are a customer on active support
(you can review your purchase history on your account tab as well).
If you have questions or need some help, please feel free to
drop an email to store at codeweavers.com, where we'll do our best to
help you.
