Announcing CrossOver 14.0.0

Hello all,



I am delighted to announce that CodeWeavers has just released

CrossOver 14.0.0 for both Mac OS X and Linux. CrossOver 14.0.0 has

major improvements for both OS X and Linux users.



For OS X users, CrossOver 14 introduces compatibility with Apple's

latest version of OS X, Yosemite, and also introduces a new and

easy-to-use user interface. Windows applications now can be

launched directly from CrossOver itself, and CrossOver presents simple

icons you can drag to your OS X dock as shortcuts to your favorite

Windows applications. Managing Windows applications on your Mac is

easier than ever with CrossOver 14.



For Linux users, CrossOver has a powerful new automatic configuration

feature which will detect, download, and install system components

necessary to run Windows applications. CrossOver includes a database

of what packages are needed by which Windows applications on which

Linux distributions. When you use the CrossOver Software Installer to

install a Windows application that depends on a particular Linux

package, CrossOver will ask whether you want to install the required

dependencies. If you agree, CrossOver will automatically install the

required Linux packages before moving on to the Windows software

install. This makes installing Windows software on Linux easier than

it has ever been.



CrossOver 14 includes support for Quicken 2015 and a number of new

games. CrossOver 14 is based on Wine 1.7.25, bringing thousands of

improvements to application stability and support.



Mac customers with active support entitlements will be upgraded to

CrossOver 14 the next time they launch CrossOver. Linux users can

download the latest version from
