14.0.0 CrossOver - October 16, 2014

    • CrossOver's Graphical User Interface has been entirely redone. Windows applications can now be easily launched from within CrossOver itself, and much of the rest of the user interface has been simplified.
    • The CrossOver Software Installer more prominently displays all search results when a user searches for an application to install, making it easier to find the desired application.
  • Linux:
    • CrossOver can now automatically detect and install missing packages on many Linux distributions, making it easier to get the packages you need. CrossOver will attempt to install a minimal set of packages on first-run, and will also attempt to install packages needed by specific Windows applications when those Windows applications are installed.
    • CrossOver has fixed a bug with the way it uses threads in GTK+ (this bug fix allows CrossOver to run on Ubuntu 14.10).
    • CrossOver should now detect proxy settings on systems which use GSettings.
    • Fixed proxy detection for certain KDE configurations.
  • Application Support:
    • New Supported Applications:
      • CrossOver now supports Quicken 2015 on both OS X and Linux.
      • CrossOver now supports Hearthstone on Linux.
      • CrossOver now supports Cube World on both OS X and Linux.
      • CrossOver now supports Path of Exile on both OS X and Linux.
      • CrossOver now supports Warcraft III on Linux.

      • CrossOver now supports South Park: The Stick of Truth on both OS X and Linux.
      • CrossOver now supports Xenonauts both OS X and Linux.
    • Bug fixes:
      • The "Save a copy as" feature in Quicken 2014 is now functional.
      • Quicken 2014 is now able to validate data files.
      • Quicken 2014 now displays its update notice correctly.
      • Quicken 2014 will now remember when its windows are re-sized.
      • Scrolling using a trackpad on an Apple laptop will now work in Quicken 2014.
      • Formatting of message timestamps in Outlook 2010 has been improved.
      • Many games - Deus Ex: Human Revolution - no longer require the Legacy X Window System to run on OS X.
      • CrossOver's built-in web browser has improved and now loads more sites, including the U-Haul website and the website for the United States Copyright Office.
      • Steam can now be hidden reliably on OS X.
      • Legacy Family Tree 7 will now run under CrossOver on OS X.
      • Printing will now work when MathType is installed alongside Word 2007.
  • Other Improvements:
    • CrossOver 14.0.0 is based on Wine 1.7.25 which includes over 5,000 patches that fix bugs and add greater Windows compatibility.

CODEWEAVERS LAUNCHES CROSSOVER 14

Update includes support for new “Yosemite” Mac Operating System
Runs Quicken 2015, many newer games; Includes latest, greatest Wine 1.7.25

 
SAINT PAUL, Minn (October 16, 2014) — CodeWeavers, Inc., developer of CrossOver—the easiest, fastest way to run Windows software on Mac and Linux, announced today the release of CrossOver 14. With CrossOver 14, you can run thousands of Windows software titles, without the need to buy a Windows OS license.

CrossOver 14 features support for Apple’s latest operating system release of Mac OS 10.10, more commonly known as “Yosemite,” which was released on 16 October, 2014. CrossOver 14 works “out-of-the-box” with Yosemite, and will give Mac users all the benefits from this much anticipated OS release.
CrossOver 14 contains support for many newer Windows applications, a prominent example being Quicken 2015. CrossOver also supports many games, including new support for the very popular Hearthstone (on Linux), as well as other titles such as Cube World, Path of Exile, Warcraft III, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Terraria, South Park: The Stick of Truth, and Xenonauts. CrossOver also runs thousands of other Windows titles of all types.

CrossOver 14 also includes the very latest release of Wine: Wine 1.7.25. Wine is an open-source software allowing Windows programs to be run on Unix-based operating systems without the need for Windows itself. Wine also delivers superior performance and simplicity compared with virtual machine. The latest release, Wine 1.7.25, embodies another year’s worth of Wine development, including nearly 5,000 new patches and application improvements to hundreds of different Windows applications.
CrossOver 14 is available immediately at www.CodeWeavers.com.
