Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, Wine 1.7.10 has been released a few hours ago. Among others, it comes with an AVI compressor, support for Thread Local Storage (TLS) in libraries that were dinamically loaded, a task scheduler, support for extender IPS protocol and about 48 bug-fixes. For more information, see the official changelog.
