customers were confused, believing they needed a different

Mac OS X:

We have fixed a bug where certain users who chose
"Register for all users of this computer" during CrossOver's
registration would receive an error claiming their bottle had
"expired" and could not be used, despite the user having a
valid CrossOver license.
We have added a preference setting allowing the user to control

which caused Guild Wars 2 to trigger this bug, thus making the
game playable with Compiz on Ubuntu.
Fixed an issue where the screen would go blank during the
installation of some programs.
CrossOver:
CrossOver no longer ships Wine-Mono, an open-source replacement

but the large increase in download size and disk space usage proved
too much. CrossOver can still download and install Wine-Mono
as-needed.
We have fixed a bug which caused CrossOver to print unnecessary
error messages when launching Windows applications, complaining
that certain icon files could not be found.
New translations for Polish & Chinese (China), and a partial

CrossOver now incorporates our experimental Mac Driver. With
the Mac Driver, Windows programs running under CrossOver no
longer have to use the X Window System to interact with the
screen and keyboard. This feature is currently experimental but
will become the way all CrossOver applications work on OS X in
the future.
CrossOver has improved font handling for fonts used by certain
applications, such as National Mah Jongg League Online.
Linux:
CrossOver Linux now installs a single desktop menu item
rather than a multitude of desktop menus. This approach works
better with desktop systems such as GNOME 3 and Unity, which
usually don't have a hierarchical desktop menu structure.
CrossOver now has much better support for window transparency
(layered windows) when a compositing window manager is
available. (When the Mac Driver is complete, this feature will
be available on OS X as well). Many transparent windows will
now work that did not before.
Improvements in this area include:
Microsoft Office applications in the Office 2003 and Office 2007
suites will now behave properly when working with embedded
pictures or graphics. Previously, rotating or resizing embedded
graphics caused the screen to go temporarily black;
Game launchers (such as that for Guild Wars 2, for example) which
use color-keying to create transparent window areas will display
properly rather than being drawn with black borders;
...and many more.
We have resolved some issues which caused printers not to appear.
Application Support:
CrossOver now supports World of Tanks.
CrossOver now supports Quicken 2013.
CrossOver now supports installation of .Net 4.0.
CrossOver Linux now supports Guild Wars 2. Guild Wars 2 will
run for many people on CrossOver Mac, but many users will
encounter persistent graphics problems. Previously, CodeWeavers
had released a specially-built version of CrossOver dedicated
to running Guild Wars 2. That is no longer necessary.
Improvements to Microsoft Office:
Fixed a crash displaying certain email messages in Outlook 2010.
Outlook 2010 will now save passwords.
Improved Gmail and other IMAP connections with Outlook 2007.
Fixed auto-discovery during account configuration for
Outlook 2007.
PowerPoint 2010 now displays equations in slide shows.
PowerPoint 2010 no longer displays blank slides.
Fixed bugs in Word 2010 which caused the equation editor to
be missing structures and formulas.
Fixed a bug in Word 2010 related to footnote style choices.
Project 2007 and 2010 can now edit dates for recurring tasks.
Fixed a crash in Project 2010 when filtering by resource name.
Visio 2002 can now search for new shapes.
Visio 2010 now displays properly when multiple shapes are open.
Star Trek Online is now faster during game updates.
Quicken 2009 no longer has garbled text on its buttons.
An issue with installation of .Net 3.5 SP1 was resolved.
World of Warcraft has had fixes related to patching and
installation.
CrossOver and Wine:
CrossOver is now based on Wine 1.5.15.
CrossOver's built-in web browser will offer to download and
install ActiveX controls.
CrossOver now comes bundled with the Wine-Mono package, an
alternative implementation of the .Net API.
CrossOver now implements Raw Input, the set of APIs used for
mouse input by games like Guild Wars 2, World of Tanks, and others.
Support for printing on a variety of paper sizes has been improved.
DirectSound has a new resampler, for higher quality audio.
CrossOver now has sub-pixel font anti-aliasing.
Fix a bug on Ubuntu 12.04 where Excel files would fail to launch.
Note to Red Hat Enterprise 5 users: CrossOver 11.3.0 is the
last version of CrossOver which will work with RHEL5. The X11
libraries in RHEL5 are sufficiently old that future versions of
CrossOver will not work in RHEL5. An upgrade to RHEL6 or newer will
be necessary to use future versions of CrossOver.
11.2.2
CrossOver XI Mac - September 21, 2012
Update for Compatibility with OS X 10.7.5 and 10.8.2:
This release fixes a bug which caused applications doing 3D
drawing to fail to launch under CrossOver on Mac OS X 10.8.2 and
10.7.5. Because of this failure, many games, and some other
applications, would not run using CrossOver on OS X 10.8.2 and
10.7.5.
If you are using any version of Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) or 10.8
(Mountain Lion), you should install this upgrade to ensure that
CrossOver continues to function.
This release updates the 'CrossTie' installation recipes to
avoid errors with failed downloads. You should install this
update to avoid these errors.
Fix for certain graphical glitches where small black
rectangles would appear in certain applications.
Improve font discovery.
Prevent an occasional hang while updating CrossTie profiles.
Fix a crash in Civilization IV and V in windowed mode.
Fix an issue where applications could appear frozen after being
minimized into the Dock, even though they were still running.

filenames.
Other Enhancements:
Added support for Microsoft Visio 2010.
Added support for Microsoft Project 2010.
Integration of Wine 1.4.1, which includes many,
many bug fixes and improvements over Wine 1.4.0,
as well as improved translations for many languages.
Bug fix for microphone detection for Rosetta Stone 3.
Fix a crash for certain files PowerPoint 2010.

it was not registered.
Fixed an error which would cause CrossOver's
'Welcome' screen not to appear in some situations
on Mac OS X Lion.
Fixed a problem which caused Windows applications to have
slightly (four) fewer graphics shaders available than they
could have, which could produce graphics glitches in games.
Fixed a bug whereby Microsoft Office 2010, Service Pack 1
refused to install. It should now install cleanly (an update
of CrossTie files from the website may be necessary).
Fixed a bug where Quicken 2012 would hang adding a new online
account or updating a bank account.
Fixed a bug where PowerPoint 2010 would refuse to play
slideshows. Slideshows will now work in PowerPoint 2010.
CrossOver Enhancements:
Fixes for (we hope!) the last outstanding problems with
CrossOver registration / licensing.
Improvements to Japanese and Russian translations.
Bug Fix for Registration
This is a bug-fix release which resolves an issue whereby 11.0.1
would fail to register correctly for many users. If you have
experienced an issue where CrossOver registration fails despite the
fact that you believe your support contract is still enabled, this
version may address your problem.
If you have registered CrossOver for 'All users' on your
computer and CrossOver erroneously states that it is
expired, even though you have registered it, please
install this update to fix this issue.
Fix to registration: registration would fail for users who
selected 'Register for all users of this computer'
... single-user registration would work as expected, but
computer-wide registration, while appearing to work, would
fail to register and CrossOver would expire after the demo
period.
CrossOver Linux
Fixes to registration from behind a proxy on systems using
GNOME/GConf (CrossOver would sometimes detect stale proxy settings).

functionality of both the CrossOver Games and CrossOver Pro
lines.

that, after CrossOver XI, you will no longer have to
re-register when you upgrade to a new "dot-release" version of
CrossOver.
Improved naming conventions for bottles.
Improved handling for published bottles.
Translations updates.
Improved file association handling.
CrossOver's Linux MojoSetup installer now includes a silent
option (add --noprompt during installation).
Missing packages on Linux installations give more
informative error messages.
CrossOver gives an error message if it is unable to create a
package on Linux systems.
The CrossOver functions of bottle creation, a simulated
reboot and bottle initialization now display progress bars.

Accents are now accepted in bottle names.
Resolved an issue whereby html tags would sometimes appear
in inappropriate places in the CrossOver interface.
CrossOver and Wine:
CrossOver now includes Wine 1.4, the latest stable Wine
release. A few of the many benefits of Wine 1.4 are
detailed below.
A new DIB (Device Independent Bitmap) engine, which brings:
better support for such things as themes on Firefox.
faster drawing in certain situations.
Improved mouse handling on Linux with XInput2, meaning
mouse-controlled games work considerably better.
Improved C++ runtime.
Audio support improvements.
uDisk support.
A wide variety of other improvements brought by the more
than 11,438 improvements to Wine with this release.
Other CrossOver Changes:
Improvements to the icon extraction for Windows applications,
meaning fewer apps get a default 'fallback' icon (like the Wine
bottle which used to appear for some things).
Distribution on the Mac is now via a zip file rather than a dmg.
CrossOver on the Mac will now offer to move itself
to the /Applications folder if it is not already there.
CrossOver Mac now ships with quartz-wm, so users should not have
to install Apple's X11.app in most cases. (quartz-wm also fixes
some bugs on Lion with maximizing windows)
CrossOver on Mac OS X now has user-controlled auto-updates.
CrossOver on Linux has higher resolution icons for
some applications.
Kioclient now used on KDE systems where applicable.
The X11 logo no longer appears at the top of windowed
applications on the Mac.

Improve handling of the Windows 2000 menus. Installing an
unsupported application in a Windows 2000 bottle should now

the association's MIME type.

Improved the Windows Application CD detection.
Improved cxreset so it catches all hung Wine processes.

Supermount (Mandriva), Subfs (SUSE) or HAL (recent
distributions). In practice this means CrossOver Setup should
no longer get into a loop trying to fix your CD-ROM
configuration over and over again.
Made it easier to install multi-CD applications on Supermount
systems.
Improved CrossOver's cxsu tool which is used to run commands as
root so it automatically knows when to use sudo (e.g. on

either in traditional Windows 98 compatibility
or for environments supporting Windows 2000/XP.
'Bottle Manager' - the ability to manage multiple
simultaneous virtual Windows environments
simply and easily. This allows you to segregate
applications into different environments (aka 'bottles')
to simplify testing and to improve stability.
Bottles can be backed up, archived, and restored,
and bottles can be deployed via RPM, making the
process of deploying a Windows application as simple
as pushing an RPM around.
Plugin support for 64-bit browsers
New Technical Details (since 4.2):
Major changes in the underlying Wine technology base
which should bring a wide range of improvements,
including:

CrossOver to install a far wider range of
applications.
