The latest installation instructions for PlayOnLinux
As you may know, PlayOnLinux is a frontend for Wine, the popular software for running Windows applications on Linux and Mac OS X.
The latest PlayOnLinux version available is PlayOnLinux 4.2.10, which has been recently released, coming with the below fixes:
- Wine 1.8 staging is now the default wine version on OSX. The build process has been improved thanks to wine-staging team so that the compiler supports ms_hook_prologue, allowing function hotpatching. This should improve the compatibility of some applications like Steam.
