2019-09-18 (svn 966)

Added new UI to manage games and containers for Windows and Mac builds
Added Wine 4.0 file system
Windows build can now integrate with the OS to launch 16-bit apps directly from Explorer (Container setting)

2019-08-11 (svn 911)

Changes from 19R1 Beta 1

Fixed bugs in the Windows 64-bit build
Added support for SSE instructions, and bumped the CPU to be reported as a Pentium 3
Enabled support for Direct 3D, this is experimental, so if you are lucky maybe 50% of the Direct 3D games you try will work. You should probably stick to games around the year 2000 or before.

2019-06-30

Changes from 18R2

Added 64-bit build with a multi-threaded binary translator. This 64-bit should be a lot faster than the 32-bit build.
The 64-bit beta build will have some bug and random crashes

2018-12-04

Changes from 2018 R1

Added support for Wine 3.1 (some games work better, some worse)
Added a dynamic recompiler, should be more than 2x faster than 2018 R1
No longer uses the -m argument to specify memory, it will be dynamically allocated
Supports -bpp 8 command line argument for games that need the emulated desktop to start in 8-bit
Fixed some 8-bit color games, like MDK
Added Midi support for the Windows build
Fixed a floating point issue. Games that used Visual Basic runtime that had an overflow error are fixed by this.

Known Issue

Copy/Paste works with Wine 1.6, but broke in Wine 1.7 which is now the default version for the Windows build
