  • Added support for MacroMedia Flash.
  • Added support for Superscape Viscape.
  • Added a workaround for Mozilla bug 78919. Word/Excel/PowerPoint
    associations now work in Mozilla (>=0.9.4) and Netscape 6
    (>=6.2).
  • Added support for ~/.mozilla/plugins which can be used with
    Mozilla >=0.9.9.
  • Fixed the main sound issues.
  • Fixed a bug which would cause some files to be
    world-writable.
  • Uninstalling no longer blindly deletes everything in the
    installation.
  • Fixed the bug that prevented ‘Cleanup CrossOver’ from deleting
    the wineserver socket. Added support for multi-user setups. (aka
    the ‘Unable to load the windows plugin library…’ bug)
  • Fixed the memory leak in Excel Viewer.
  • Fixed the handling of ‘;’ in MIME types.
  • Fixed the bug that caused wineprefixcreate.sh to use undefined
    values.
  • Fixed the handling of large numbers of icons in
    PluginSetup.
  • Fixed the uninstallation procedure of the RPM packages
    generated by buildrpm.sh.
  • Fixed the open file dialogs to not truncate the last character
    when renaming a file.
  • Fixed the KDE tab Launch button.
  • Set the umask during multi-user installations so that all users
    will have access to the windows applications.
  • Improved the handling of broken FreeType and Xrender versions.
    (aka the ‘Unable to close run pipe…’ bug)
  • Improved the MIME type association support. Many bugs were
    fixed including an incorrect test for $display, and an
    incompatiblity with Debian for Mailcap files.
  • Improved the Windows to Unix path conversion when invoking a
    Linux browser.

    Perl modules.
