Wine 1.6 Release Candidate 2 Is Out There

Written by Michael Larabel in WINE on 14 June 2013 at 03:12 PM EDT. 3 Comments

The second release candidate of Wine 1.6 is now available.

Being in a code freeze now ahead of the Wine 1.6 official release in the coming weeks, no new features are coming but just bug-fixes.

The first release candidate of Wine 1.6 was made last week and these RCs will continue until Wine 1.6 is in a shape readied for release. If you're not familiar with this upcoming release to run Windows games and applications under OS X and Linux, read about the Wine 1.6 features.

In terms of the bug-fixes for Wine 1.6-rc2, they are documented at WineHQ.org.
