The Wine team has announced that version 2.0 of the Windows compatibility layer has been released.

The main highlights are the support for Microsoft Office 2013, and the 64-bit support on macOS.

[...] This is the first release made on the new time-based, annual release schedule. This implies that some features that are being worked on but couldn't be finished in time have been deferred to the next development cycle. This includes in particular the Direct3D command stream, the full HID support, the Android graphics driver, and message-mode pipes.

Do any soylentils still rely on Wine for that one irreplaceable application?

    Even though Adobe promised it would provide a Linux version when the publishers chose to use Adobe's copy protection scheme for epub books, Adobe never did. I need it to download custom ebooks. When I use Adobe Digital Editions, Adobe is so kind as to custom-encrypt the books for just me. Once I have downloaded a book, I can have my way with it.

    This, though lately, it's gotten flakey on me: spinning forever and never downloading the actual book. I guess I'll have to try 2.0 and a fresh install.
