Software-update: Cedega 4.3.2

TransGaming heeft enkele dagen geleden een nieuwe versie uitgebracht van het programma Cedega, voorheen beter bekend onder de naam WineX. Dit is eigen implementatie van Microsoft's Win32 Application Programming Interfaces (API) voor het Linux-platform, waarmee het mogelijk is om Windows-spellen op diverse Linux-distributies te spelen. Het versienummer is inmiddels aangekomen bij 4.3.2 en heeft als bijnaam "Gorgonzola" meegekregen van de ontwikkelaars. De release notes tonen ons de volgende veranderingen:

TransGaming is pleased to announce the release of Cedega 4.3.2, dubbed Gorgonzola, giving TransGamers access to more Windows games in Linux, with greater ease. TransGamers can now download Cedega in RPM, Debian and TGZ formats from the downloads section of TransGaming's website.

Cedega 4.3.2 is a bug fix release designed to enhance the game play experience of a number of games.

New Features:

• The fix for a World of WarCraft patcher issue, which was previously released as a hotfix, is now available in a regular release. Please remember that in order for the new World of WarCraft patcher to work, the Mozilla ActiveX Control must also be installed correctly.
• The updater for the European release of City of Heroes should now work out of the box.
• Better international keyboard support for users of X.org. Dead keys (umlauts, etc.) should now be working properly when using the X.org X implementation.
• More games should be able to use mmap mode through the ALSA driver.
• Fix for a minor memory leak with vertex shaders.
• wininet improvements, contributed by Brian Gerst.
