About Wine Reviews:
There is a multitude of software developed only for the Windows operating system and even when software vendors port their applications to another platform, generally it lacks features that the Windows version contains. The only solution these developers face is to have access to both systems for testing which leads to increased infrastructure demands, and wasted project resources. Our goal is to have native ports of essential Windows tools and applications made available for MacOS users.
Version 7.5.0 New Features:
- Added a installer so you can configure the installation location
- Pterm is now supported on MacOS 10.12
- Fixed a large number of icon rendering bugs
- Cleaned up theme support a little
- Fixed a couple dynamic lib linking bugs
- Fixed a crash in Browse
- Fixed the SSH drop down menu
- Preliminary support for SSH private key Authorization / Authentication
- Preliminary support for SSH Tunneling
- Other small random bug fixes
We now use FastSpring as our preferred storefront, you can pay with Credit / Debit Cards, PayPal, Amazon payments, Wire Transfer etc. etc. This store is very secure, simple and fast.
