经过 20 个月的开发，全新的 Wine 稳定版 ---- 1.4 正式发布了，该版本带来了全新的 DIB 图形引擎，重写了音频处理堆栈，使用 Gstreamer ，完全支持双向文本、ARM 支持等等，同时支持更多的应用程序，包括微软的 Office 2010.
Wine 1.4 值得关注的改进包括：
New graphics engine for rendering into Device Independent Bitmaps (DIB). DIB can also be used as a fall-back for some graphics primitives, like alpha blending, when the driver doesn't supports it
More image codecs are implemented, including support for TGA and CMYK JPEG decoding, as well as BMP, TIFF, PNG, and ICNS encoding.
The audio stack is completely redesigned, based on the Vista model
The Alsa, OSS, and CoreAudio drivers have been rewritten to use the new model
The Jack, NAS, AudioIO, OSS3 and ESD audio subsystems are no longer supported
Joystick action mapping is supported, including a configuration dialog
Full support for bidirectional text
New Vista style file dialogs
Wine can now make use of GStreamer for audio and video playback
Implemented system tray notification balloons
The built-in (Gecko-based) web browser engine supports ActiveX
Dynamic device management can use the new UDisks service in addition to HAL
Wine now compiles on ARM too
