14 DAY TRIAL // Just days after updating CrossOver Games with support for new games, the people at CodeWeavers have updated CrossOver Mac, the company’s flagship software application for Mac OS X, to version 8.0.1. A changelog was unavailable at the time of the posting, but you can download CrossOver Mac 8.0.1 right now via Softpedia, and look for the changes (and perhaps new application support) yourself.
According to the release notes for the latest CrossOver Mac update (8.0.0), new applications supported by the software included Quicken 2009, Internet Explorer 7 and Photoshop CS2. Application fixes had been added for Microsoft Office 2003 and 2007, as well as Apple’s QuickTime 7. Here’s the breakdown:
MS Office 2003: · Non-English language service packs should now apply; · Word 2003: 'Insert Field' should now work properly; · Word 2003: Table calculations fixed; · Word 2003: Insert... Picture... From File improved; · Outlook 2003: NTLM proxy authentication fixed; · Excel 2003: Insert Picture improved; · Outlook 2003: Problem with dropping into 'disconnected' mode is resolved; MS Office 2007: · Service Packs 1 and 2 now apply; · Enterprise, Pro, and Corporate editions should now install; · Word 2007: Fixed misbehavior when using the 'insert image' function; · Several other Office service packs and add-ons should work better. QuickTime 7: · Intermittent hanging bugs should be fixed; · Several other general fixes; · Outlook 2000: e-mail attachments should now work; · Acrobat 5 and 7: 'Save As' dialog no longer causes crashes; · FrameMaker: Handling of PPD files improved on systems without CUPS; · Word XP: 'Combine Documents' fixed; · Equation Editor should install and run.
Other improvements included the addition of a 'symbol' font. “This should improve Equation Editor behavior,” CodeWeavers said in June. A couple of improvements were also made to the dual-monitor support on the Mac side, while a problem with demo registration and gksu version 2.0.2 had been resolved. Also strictly on the OS X front, the developers had updated many components to fix behavior on Snow Leopard – unreleased at the time. Better copy-paste and improved 64-bit support in the RPM package rounded up the list of changes in CrossOver 8.
