gives significant improvements in many, many popular
games.

Linux:
Architecture specifications have been removed from our
package installer filenames. That is, our package installers
filenames no longer include the 'i386' specifier. This is
purely a cosmetic change in the filenames we ship - some
customers were confused, believing they needed a different
installer for 64-bit machines, which is not true after the
switch to multiarch.
Files saved with Microsoft Office are no longer marked as
'executable,' meaning they can be opened by clicking on them
in Nautilus or other file browsers.
Mac OS X:
Input Managers will no longer cause Windows applications
running under CrossOver to crash.
When you Command-Tab out of a full-screen program and
then back, CrossOver will restore that program's display
resolution setting.
CrossOver uses accelerated OpenGL in all cases.
Added support for Mac-style full-screen windows.
Enhanced the system tray icon support to handle right-clicks and
middle-clicks.
Fix a bug which could cause CrossOver to display two mouse
cursors in some applications.
Lots of window management fixes.
Fixed scrolling going diagonal when it shouldn't.

when using certain keyboard layouts (e.g. US International
PC).
Fixed a bug where the select-bottle section of the Software Installer
window would say Please Wait forever.

Student Edition.
12.5.1 CrossOver - October 16, 2013
Linux:
CrossOver now ships multiarch packages for Debian-based
distributions. The non-multiarch Debian packages are legacy
and no longer shipped. CrossOver 12.5.0 is the last version
of CrossOver where non-multiarch Debian packages are
available. Users of non-multiarch aware Debian distributions
can still use our MojoSetup installer.
Items in the main menu of the CrossOver GUI can now be
specified in a CrossTie file.
A bug which caused the plugin editor to fail to launch has

the Mac menu bar.
Fixed a problem in which mouse activity would sometimes cause
unwanted diagonal movement of the mouse pointer.

Mac OS X:
We have improvements to windowing in the Mac Driver.
We are hopeful that changes in this version of CrossOver
will mean that gaming performance will improve when
Apple releases its upcoming OS X 10.8.3.
12.1.1 CrossOver - January 25, 2013
Mac OS X:
Resolved an issue where CrossOver would not register via
a serial code.
12.1.0 CrossOver - January 23, 2013
Mac OS X:
We have fixed a bug where certain users who chose
"Register for all users of this computer" during CrossOver's
registration would receive an error claiming their bottle had
"expired" and could not be used, despite the user having a
valid CrossOver license.
We have added a preference setting allowing the user to control
what CrossOver does with an unknown Windows .exe file when it
is launched. Using this preference, the user can tell CrossOver
either to treat the unknown .exe file as an application installer,
or to simply run it.
CrossOver will now auto-update CrossTie files if the user has
permitted auto-updates of CrossOver itself via Sparkle.
Fixed a bug where automatic updates via Sparkle would fail for
some users on OS X 10.6.8.

fullscreen mode. Games which should be improved include StarCraft,
Fallout, and, we hope, many others.
Fixed a bug which prevented some users from logging into
World of Tanks servers.
Linux:
Running Guild Wars 2 on Ubuntu 12.04 with CrossOver 12 triggered a
bug in the Compiz window manager which caused a CPU spike. We have
added a registry key which can be used to disable the feature
which caused Guild Wars 2 to trigger this bug, thus making the
game playable with Compiz on Ubuntu.
Fixed an issue where the screen would go blank during the
installation of some programs.
CrossOver:
CrossOver no longer ships Wine-Mono, an open-source replacement
for .Net, by default. We had started doing this for CrossOver 12
but the large increase in download size and disk space usage proved
too much. CrossOver can still download and install Wine-Mono
as-needed.
We have fixed a bug which caused CrossOver to print unnecessary
error messages when launching Windows applications, complaining
that certain icon files could not be found.
New translations for Polish & Chinese (China), and a partial
translation for Italian.

12.0.0 CrossOver - December 12, 2012
Mac OS X:
CrossOver now incorporates our experimental Mac Driver. With
the Mac Driver, Windows programs running under CrossOver no
longer have to use the X Window System to interact with the
screen and keyboard. This feature is currently experimental but
will become the way all CrossOver applications work on OS X in
the future.
CrossOver has improved font handling for fonts used by certain
applications, such as National Mah Jongg League Online.
Linux:
CrossOver Linux now installs a single desktop menu item
rather than a multitude of desktop menus. This approach works
better with desktop systems such as GNOME 3 and Unity, which
usually don't have a hierarchical desktop menu structure.
CrossOver now has much better support for window transparency
(layered windows) when a compositing window manager is
available. (When the Mac Driver is complete, this feature will
be available on OS X as well). Many transparent windows will
now work that did not before.
Improvements in this area include:
Microsoft Office applications in the Office 2003 and Office 2007
suites will now behave properly when working with embedded
pictures or graphics. Previously, rotating or resizing embedded
graphics caused the screen to go temporarily black;
Game launchers (such as that for Guild Wars 2, for example) which
use color-keying to create transparent window areas will display
properly rather than being drawn with black borders;
...and many more.
We have resolved some issues which caused printers not to appear.
Application Support:
CrossOver now supports World of Tanks.
CrossOver now supports Quicken 2013.
CrossOver now supports installation of .Net 4.0.
CrossOver Linux now supports Guild Wars 2. Guild Wars 2 will
run for many people on CrossOver Mac, but many users will
encounter persistent graphics problems. Previously, CodeWeavers
had released a specially-built version of CrossOver dedicated
to running Guild Wars 2. That is no longer necessary.
Improvements to Microsoft Office:
Fixed a crash displaying certain email messages in Outlook 2010.
Outlook 2010 will now save passwords.
Improved Gmail and other IMAP connections with Outlook 2007.
Fixed auto-discovery during account configuration for
Outlook 2007.
PowerPoint 2010 now displays equations in slide shows.
PowerPoint 2010 no longer displays blank slides.
Fixed bugs in Word 2010 which caused the equation editor to
be missing structures and formulas.
Fixed a bug in Word 2010 related to footnote style choices.
Project 2007 and 2010 can now edit dates for recurring tasks.
Fixed a crash in Project 2010 when filtering by resource name.
Visio 2002 can now search for new shapes.
Visio 2010 now displays properly when multiple shapes are open.
Star Trek Online is now faster during game updates.
Quicken 2009 no longer has garbled text on its buttons.
An issue with installation of .Net 3.5 SP1 was resolved.
World of Warcraft has had fixes related to patching and
installation.
CrossOver and Wine:
CrossOver is now based on Wine 1.5.15.
CrossOver's built-in web browser will offer to download and
install ActiveX controls.
CrossOver now comes bundled with the Wine-Mono package, an
alternative implementation of the .Net API.
CrossOver now implements Raw Input, the set of APIs used for
mouse input by games like Guild Wars 2, World of Tanks, and others.
Support for printing on a variety of paper sizes has been improved.
DirectSound has a new resampler, for higher quality audio.
CrossOver now has sub-pixel font anti-aliasing.

Note to Red Hat Enterprise 5 users: CrossOver 11.3.0 is the
last version of CrossOver which will work with RHEL5. The X11
libraries in RHEL5 are sufficiently old that future versions of
CrossOver will not work in RHEL5. An upgrade to RHEL6 or newer will
be necessary to use future versions of CrossOver.
11.2.2 CrossOver XI Mac - September 21, 2012
Update for Compatibility with OS X 10.7.5 and 10.8.2:
This release fixes a bug which caused applications doing 3D
drawing to fail to launch under CrossOver on Mac OS X 10.8.2 and
10.7.5. Because of this failure, many games, and some other
applications, would not run using CrossOver on OS X 10.8.2 and
10.7.5. If you are using any version of Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) or 10.8
(Mountain Lion), you should install this upgrade to ensure that
CrossOver continues to function.
11.2.1 CrossOver XI - August 27, 2012

slightly (four) fewer graphics shaders available than they
could have, which could produce graphics glitches in games.
11.0.3 CrossOver XI - April 9, 2012

Fixed a bug whereby Microsoft Office 2010, Service Pack 1

Fixes for (we hope!) the last outstanding problems with
CrossOver registration / licensing.
Improvements to Japanese and Russian translations.
11.0.2 CrossOver XI - March 21, 2012
Bug Fix for Registration
This is a bug-fix release which resolves an issue whereby 11.0.1
would fail to register correctly for many users. If you have
experienced an issue where CrossOver registration fails despite the
fact that you believe your support contract is still enabled, this
version may address your problem.
11.0.1 CrossOver XI - March 20, 2012
CrossOver Mac
Attention Mac Users!
If you have registered CrossOver for 'All users' on your
computer and CrossOver erroneously states that it is
expired, even though you have registered it, please
install this update to fix this issue.
Fix to registration: registration would fail for users who
selected 'Register for all users of this computer'
... single-user registration would work as expected, but
computer-wide registration, while appearing to work, would
fail to register and CrossOver would expire after the demo
period.
CrossOver Linux

GNOME/GConf (CrossOver would sometimes detect stale proxy settings).
Fixes to package upgrades for .rpm & .deb users.
CrossOver General Fixes
Fix for Vocaloid 3.

Fix the 'no-execute' and SELinux compatibility issues that happen
on recent Fedora Core 4 and Fedora Core 5 distributions.
If ClamAV is installed, then CrossOver's wine script will now
scan executables and attachments before running them. This
should not be seen as an ironclad anti-virus shield but as one
more step to prevent accidental infection through CrossOver's
associations.
Make it possible to upgrade bottle RPMs. Many other bottle RPM
fixes and improvements.

Fix menu duplication issue on Debian 3.1, Mandrake 10.1 and
others.

Avoid creating icons on GNOME's legacy desktop. This means users
of modern GNOME should no longer get the annoying 'Link To
Old Desktop' icon.
Fix handling of KDE's desktop icons for root installs.
Improve handling of the Windows 2000 menus. Installing an
unsupported application in a Windows 2000 bottle should now
always result in the creation of the corresponding menus.

Improved the Windows Application CD detection.
Improved cxreset so it catches all hung Wine processes.
Improved support for CD-ROMs that are auto-mounted by means of
Supermount (Mandriva), Subfs (SUSE) or HAL (recent
distributions). In practice this means CrossOver Setup should
no longer get into a loop trying to fix your CD-ROM
configuration over and over again.
Made it easier to install multi-CD applications on Supermount
systems.
Improved CrossOver's cxsu tool which is used to run commands as
root so it automatically knows when to use sudo (e.g. on
Ubuntu) and when to use su.
Fix the conversion of icons to PNG format. This should avoid
some xpmtoppm error messages.

Major improvements in installer technology so
that most applications should now install
with CrossOver.
Support for virtual Windows environments running
either in traditional Windows 98 compatibility
or for environments supporting Windows 2000/XP.
'Bottle Manager' - the ability to manage multiple
simultaneous virtual Windows environments
simply and easily. This allows you to segregate

process of deploying a Windows application as simple
as pushing an RPM around.
Plugin support for 64-bit browsers
New Technical Details (since 4.2):
