Hello all,

I am delighted to announce that CodeWeavers has just released
CrossOver 12.5.0 for both Mac OS X and Linux.

CrossOver 12.5.0 is a major step forward from previous versions of
CrossOver. CrossOver 12.5.0 includes the latest version of Wine -
the Windows compatibility technology which underlies CrossOver. Wine
1.6 brings thousands of improvements to application compatibility.

On Mac OS X, CrossOver 12.5.0 has the "Mac Driver" technology enabled
by default for all applications. This brings improved integration
with the OS X desktop environment. The Mac Driver improves functions
such as drag-and-drop, command-tab switching, Dock and Menu Bar
integration, window transparency, international input methods, and
many more.

On Linux, CrossOver has a new user interface. A list of launchers
for all installed Windows applications is present in CrossOver's main
application window. This should help situations in which CrossOver's
desktop integration is difficult to use, which can be the case with
some modern desktop environments.

We have spent substantial time improving our support for Microsoft
Outlook. We have fixed many bugs which caused Outlook to fail to
reconnect on laptops after sleeps or network changes. We have also
fixed several crashes and made numerous usability improvements.

CrossOver 12.5.0 also includes improved support for Quicken, Internet
Explorer 7, and improved compatibility with the Microsoft Office suite.

CrossOver 12.5.0 has improved Chinese language support, and runs more
popular Chinese applications than ever before. We have fixed crashes
in the Chinese versions of Microsoft Office 2010; we have added
Chinese language titles to our application database; and CrossOver is
fully translated into Chinese.

A changelog for CrossOver 12.5.0 is shown below.

As always, if you are an existing customer with an active support
entitlement, you can download our latest version from
http://www.codeweavers.com and use it. Mac customers who have
automatic updates enabled and who are entitled to this update will
receive it automatically.

If CrossOver 12.5.0 asks you for registration credentials, use the same
email and password which you used to purchase CrossOver from
http://www.codeweavers.com. If you have any trouble, email
'info@codeweavers.com' for help.

Thank you all for your support, and we hope you enjoy CrossOver 12.5.0!
