-Fixed some undocumented opcodes to allow homebrew game Driar to run

-Fixed bug with special characters in ROM filenames causing a crash

-Added gamma correction to NTSC filter and changed filter parameters yet again

(still not sure what looks best, and there are a few artifacts here that don't

show up on the real thing unless you're using a cheap capture card.

If you want to experiment, the brightness, contrast, and gamma correction is at

the top of the NTSCFilter file in the code.

Please use it with smoothing on or it'll look bad no matter what.

-now change the aspect ratio when ntsc filter is used.

-Added mapper 85 (VRC7) (Lagrange Point and Japanese Tiny Toons 2)

-Partially implemented VRC7 sound (envelopes and vibrato are still missing)

-Small speed improvements (except in the ntsc filter, that's just as slow).

Enables you to run Windows apps in a unix-based system.

The Wine team is proud to announce that the stable release Wine 1.4 is now available.

 

This release represents 20 months of development effort and over 16,000 individual changes. The main highlights are the new DIB graphics engine, a redesigned audio stack, and full support for bidirectional text and character shaping.

 

It also contains a lot of improvements across the board, as well as support for many new applications, notably Microsoft Office 2010. See the release notes for a summary of the major changes.

 

This release is dedicated to the memory of Gé (Greg) van Geldorp, who passed away in May 2011. Greg single-handedly designed, built, and maintained the Wine Testbot, which has become a cornerstone of our development process. The high quality of this release owes a lot to his work. He is greatly missed by us all.
