The upcoming Bordeaux for Linux and BSD 2011.03 release will see a major shift in how the program is written and the new features that will be available to current and future Bordeaux customers. This is a brief introduction to explain some of the many planned features that will be available in the upcoming Bordeaux 2011.03 release.

The first major change is the Bordeaux 2011.03 GUI has been rewritten from scratch in Gambas, and requires the Gambas 2.15.2 runtime libraries or higher to be installed to function correctly. You can easily install Gambas in Linux from Synaptic or Yum or by going to the Gambas site and downloading a binary or the source code. Gambas for FreeBSD and PC-BSD can be installed through a ports install. If you have PC-BSD you will need to install ports if you haven't already done so.
Here is a quick overview of the upcoming changes :
* We now have 45 Games and Benchmarks that can be easily installed via Bordeaux.
* Cellars e.g wineprefixes can now be easily made from a GUI Cellar maker.
* Winetricks has been split up into categories, so its easier to find what you want quickly.
* You can now explore a Cellar with the built in Explorer. In the future we will add the ability to run a application or game directly from the explorer.
* We now have a built in update manager, updates will be simple and easy.
* You can now delete, backup, import and export Cellars to different machines with ease. Or just backup and restore on your stand alone computer.
* Unsupported applications can be easily installed and configured.
This introduction is just a overview of the many options Bordeaux 2011.03 and beyond will have, one area not covered here is the planned font configuration options that we are currently working on. Full Story |
