Wine 1.7.30 Released, Install in Linux Mint and Ubuntu Based Distro

Wine (originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator") is a compatibility layer capable of running Windows applications on several POSIX-compliant operating systems, such as Linux, Mac OSX, & BSD. Instead of simulating internal Windows logic like a virtual machine or emulator, Wine translates Windows API calls into POSIX calls on-the-fly, eliminating the performance and memory penalties of other methods and allowing you to cleanly integrate Windows applications into your desktop.

The Wine development release 1.7.30 is now available.
What's new in this release:

• More support for fonts in DirectWrite.
• Improved ATL thunk support.
