Last week we shared that Wine 1.2 was being prepared for release in June and as part of that the release candidates would start being pushed out next week. Well, it's now that time and the first release candidate of Wine 1.2 is now available.

Wine 1.2 RC1 was released today and it offers up the following official changes:

- Many new toolbar icons.
- Support for alpha blending in image lists.
- Much more complete shader assembler.
- Support for Arabic font shaping and joining.
- A number of fixes for video rendering.
- Font antialiasing configuration through fontconfig.
- Improved handling of desktop link files.
- Various bug fixes.

The Wine 1.2 release is coming as it's been nearly two years since the Wine 1.0 release and the 64-bit support is about complete. At least one more release candidate is expected before this stable update is released in June.

The Wine 1.2 RC1 release announcement can be found at WineHQ.org.

Wine是一个在X86、X86-64上容许类Unix操作系统在X Window System下运行Microsoft Windows程序的软件。另一方面，计算机程序设计师能经由Wine的程序库将视窗的程序转移至类Unix操作系统中运行。也有不少软件经过 Wine测试后发布，比如Picasa，uTorrent，MediaCoder。 Wine解为 "Wine Is Not an Emulator"，即Wine不是模拟器。虽然Wine有另一个非官方名称，"Windows Emulator"，即Windows模拟器。Wine的正确名称是"Wine"，不是全大写、全小写或大小写混合.Wine是自由软件，在GNU宽通用公共许可证(LGPL) 下发布.
