Wine 1.7.5 introduces support for registration-free COM using activation contexts, improved support for simulated bold fonts, better support for typelib registration on 64-bit architectures, updated Unicode data to Unicode 6.3, and various bug fixes. As expected, this development release of Wine adds better compatibility with several Windows games, including Bioshock, Wargame: Airland Battle, and Risen. This release also fixes installation issues with Internet Explorer 7.
