[CodeWeavers-Announce] Announcing CrossOver 6.2 for both Linux and Mac

[Jeremy White]

Hi Folks,

I am very happy to announce that we have shipped version 6.2
of CrossOver Mac and CrossOver Linux.

Version 6.2 supports the upcoming Team Fortress 2 release
from Valve software, right out of the Orange Box, as it were.
This adds to our growing list of games that work well in
CrossOver.  We feel that CrossOver is now a viable way to
play popular games on Linux and on the Mac.

It also includes some major work on Outlook, particularly
for use in corporate environments, along with a range
of bug fixes for many other applications.

For Mac users, the most exciting benefit comes from the work
Apple has done on Leopard; they have fixed a bug that allows CrossOver
to run closer to its natural speed; users should notice a substantial
speedup when as they shift to Leopard.

There are many other improvements; many of which are listed
below, in our change log.

If you are an existing CrossOver customer with an active support entitlement,
you should be able to visit our web site to download this latest version:
  www.codeweavers.com
You will need to log in with the email and password that you used when
purchasing CrossOver.

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 sales at codeweavers.com, where we'll do our best to
help you.

We recommend that anyone who is interested in CrossOver first
download a trial version and make sure that it works well for you;
trials are available front and center on our main web page,
at www.codeweavers.com.  You can download a new trial of 6.2.0
even if a previous trial had expired.

We greatly appreciate all of the support we have received
from our customers.

We're looking forward 2008 as we work furiously
to continue to improve Outlook and add support for many more
games, as well as a wide range of other applications, including
many from Adobe's product line, iTunes, Dragon Naturally Speaking,
and many others.

Finally, I would like to especially thank our beta testers,
who contribute greatly to our development process, and the
Wine development community, for sharing all of their hard
work with us, as we share all of our hard work with them.

Cheers,

Jeremy White
CEO

 * CrossOver 6.2.0 - 2007/10/01

  Platform independent changes:

    Added support for Team Fortress II via Steam
    Fixed Outlook encryption regressions.
    Fixed printing from Delphi apps
    More time-zone fixes for Outlook
    Fixed 'advanced edit' of Outlook signatures
    Fixed font rendering in several apps, including Quicken 2007
    Dramatic improvement in Outlook 2003, particularly when it is
      installed without Internet Explorer.  Many more features
      are now available.
    Fixed support for Flash Player 9.
    Many small bugfixes and improvements in stability.
    Fixes for printing to printers without default fonts
    Fixes to structure storage files to correct corruptions
    Ejection of DVDs now works
    Improvement in TreeView control behavior
    Improved Mac IME integration allowing for Korean, Atok and Ebridge input
    Comctr32.dll reports correct version
    Many fixes to the behavior and location of the default IME input window
    Saving files with IE now properly complete in multibyte locales.


  Mac OS X specific changes:
      Added a dock presence for running Applications.  This provides
        some Mac-like interfaces for applications, including the
        activation of apps and quitting via the dock.  There is
        rudimentary systray support, but this only provides
        notification  services -- tray-based menus are still unavailable.
      Fixed the chronic regeneration of application icons.  These
        should be produced less frequently and at more appropriate
        times.
      Fixed association upgrade behavior so that documents opened
        via their extensions should now be referred to the corresponding
        application rather than opened directly by CrossOver.
      Dramatic improvements in performance on OSX Leopard
      Improved 'Star Map' performance in EVE Online on some graphic setups.
      Improved timezone support.
      Fixed intermittent display update failures in several apps.
      Added DirectSound support. This should fix the audio in EVE Online.
      Added preliminary MIDI support (which may or may not work.)
      Improved audio input -- support mismatched sample rates.
      Fixed the icons for documents associated with Windows programs.
      Improved support for Korean keyboard layouts.
      Fixed a bug that prevented Wine programs from finding all available
        fonts.


  Linux specific changes:
    Updated Japanese, Italian, German, Russian and French localizations.
    Fixed an EVE Online install bug that occurred on systems with
      Arial installed as a system font.
    Improved QuickTime 7 support.
    Fixed a problem with cross-bottle file associations.
