Software-update: Wine 0.9.2

Om Windows-programma's ook onder andere besturingssystemen dan Windows te kunnen draaien, is men jaren geleden begonnen met het ontwikkelen van het programma Wine en ondertussen draait dit op Linux en FreeBSD. De ontwikkelaars hebben weer een nieuwe versie de deur uitgedaan van hun eigen implementatie van Microsoft's Win32 Application Programming Interfaces (API). Het versienummer is aangekomen bij 0.92 met de volgende veranderingen:

This is release 0.9.2 of Wine, a free implementation of Windows on Unix.

What's new in this release:

• Winelib Explorer app (just a wrapper around winefile for now).
• Debugger cleanups and improvements.
• Many wininet fixes.
• Better autogenerated API manpages.
• A bunch of Korean translations.
• Lots of bug fixes.

Wine is available thanks to the work of many people. See the file AUTHORS in the distribution for the complete list.

Wat heet, de ontwikkeling van Wine in ongeveer tegelijk begonnen met Win32 zelf

Wine's roots can be traced back to 1993.

As far as the very beginning, it started from a discussion on USENET. Some
people said it couldn't be done which inspired me to begin writing a
loader. Another person (unfortunately I don't remember who) started to do
the same thing at the same time. I don't remember the details, but my work
became the base system that everyone adopted. Eric Youngdale contributed a
substantial amount of code in the early days. Someone else took the lead
on developing the windowing code. I don't remember who. Was that you,
Alexandre or did you join in after that?

Yes, about the time Alexandre took over maintaining the Wine releases, I
took a contract position working for Rob Farnum doing TWIN development. I
continued working for Rob until Willows Software was bought out by Award.
