We are glad to release the second alpha version of Phoenicis PlayOnLinux 5. We have rewritten from scratch our winebuild platform. To make it short, it is more reliable, more transparent, easier to setup and cross-platform compatible. Any project that needs to use wine could now potentially use it and take advantage of the 1828 different builds. Support of new wine distributions Speaking about wine builds, we now support 4 wine distributions: Upstream wine builds are vanilla and unmodified wine (1) Staging wine builds are the wine builds patched by wine-staging Dos support wine builds contains wine and dosbox. (See the next feature) CX contains a wine version patched by codeweavers We plan to support proton in the next weeks.
