Wine lets you run Windows software on other operating systems. With Wine, you can install and run these applications just like you would in Windows. Wine enables Linux, Mac, FreeBSD, and Solaris users to run Windows applications without a copy of Microsoft Windows. Wine is free software under constant development. Other platforms may benefit as well.

Changes in this release:
* Updated version of the Mono package. 
* Improvements in the BITS service implementation. 
* Better data tables for Japanese vertical fonts support. 
* Support for configuring remote shares using Samba's NetAPI library. 
* Improved embedding support through XEMBED. 
* Support for arrays in VBScript. 
* Various bug fixes.
