Mac OS X:
Application Support:
14.0.0 CrossOver - October 16, 2014
Mac OS X:
CrossOver's Graphical User Interface has been entirely redone. Windows applications can now be easily launched from within CrossOver itself, and much of the rest of the user interface has been simplified.
The CrossOver Software Installer more prominently displays all search results when a user searches for an application to install, making it easier to find the desired application.

Linux:

Linux:
Language Support:

A rendering bugs with RIFT on NVIDIA hardware is fixed.
Multi-core rendering can now be enabled in Source games.
Mirror's Edge now runs under CrossOver.
Linux:
Architecture specifications have been removed from our package installer filenames. That is, our package installers filenames no longer include the 'i386' specifier. This is purely a cosmetic change in the filenames we ship - some customers were confused, believing they needed a different installer for 64-bit machines, which is not true after the switch to multiarch.
Files saved with Microsoft Office are no longer marked as 'executable,' meaning they can be opened by clicking on them in Nautilus or other file browsers.
Mac OS X:
Input Managers will no longer cause Windows applications running under CrossOver to crash.
When you Command-Tab out of a full-screen program and then back, CrossOver will restore that program's display resolution setting.

Items in the main menu of the CrossOver GUI can now be specified in a CrossTie file.

12.1.1 CrossOver - January 25, 2013
12.1.0 CrossOver - January 23, 2013
Mac OS X:
We have fixed a bug where certain users who chose "Register for all users of this computer" during CrossOver's registration would receive an error claiming their bottle had "expired" and could not be used, despite the user having a valid CrossOver license.
We have added a preference setting allowing the user to control what CrossOver does with an unknown Windows .exe file when it is launched. Using this preference, the user can tell CrossOver either to treat the unknown .exe file as an application installer, or to simply run it.
CrossOver will now auto-update CrossTie files if the user has permitted auto-updates of CrossOver itself via Sparkle.
Fixed a bug where automatic updates via Sparkle would fail for some users on OS X 10.6.8.
Fixed a bug which caused several games to fail when running in fullscreen mode. Games which should be improved include StarCraft, Fallout, and, we hope, many others.
Fixed a bug which prevented some users from logging into World of Tanks servers.
Linux:
Running Guild Wars 2 on Ubuntu 12.04 with CrossOver 12 triggered a bug in the Compiz window manager which caused a CPU spike. We have added a registry key which can be used to disable the feature which caused Guild Wars 2 to trigger this bug, thus making the game playable with Compiz on Ubuntu.
Fixed an issue where the screen would go blank during the installation of some programs.
CrossOver:
CrossOver no longer ships Wine-Mono, an open-source replacement for .Net, by default. We had started doing this for CrossOver 12 but the large increase in download size and disk space usage proved too much. CrossOver can still download and install Wine-Mono as-needed.

New translations for Polish & Chinese (China), and a partial translation for Italian.

12.0.0 CrossOver - December 12, 2012
Mac OS X:
CrossOver now incorporates our experimental Mac Driver. With the Mac Driver, Windows programs running under CrossOver no longer have to use the X Window System to interact with the screen and keyboard. This feature is currently experimental but will become the way all CrossOver applications work on OS X in the future.
CrossOver has improved font handling for fonts used by certain applications, such as National Mah Jongg League Online.
Linux:
CrossOver Linux now installs a single desktop menu item rather than a multitude of desktop menus. This approach works better with desktop systems such as GNOME 3 and Unity, which usually don't have a hierarchical desktop menu structure.
CrossOver now has much better support for window transparency (layered windows) when a compositing window manager is available. (When the Mac Driver is complete, this feature will be available on OS X as well). Many transparent windows will now work that did not before.
Improvements in this area include:
Microsoft Office applications in the Office 2003 and Office 2007 suites will now behave properly when working with embedded pictures or graphics. Previously, rotating or resizing embedded graphics caused the screen to go temporarily black;
Game launchers (such as that for Guild Wars 2, for example) which use color-keying to create transparent window areas will display properly rather than being drawn with black borders;
...and many more.
We have resolved some issues which caused printers not to appear.
Application Support:
CrossOver now supports World of Tanks.
CrossOver now supports Quicken 2013.
CrossOver now supports installation of .Net 4.0.
CrossOver Linux now supports Guild Wars 2. Guild Wars 2 will run for many people on CrossOver Mac, but many users will encounter persistent graphics problems. Previously, CodeWeavers had released a specially-built version of CrossOver dedicated to running Guild Wars 2. That is no longer necessary.
Improvements to Microsoft Office:
Fixed a crash displaying certain email messages in Outlook 2010.
Outlook 2010 will now save passwords.
Improved Gmail and other IMAP connections with Outlook 2007.
Fixed auto-discovery during account configuration for Outlook 2007.
PowerPoint 2010 now displays equations in slide shows.
PowerPoint 2010 no longer displays blank slides.
Fixed bugs in Word 2010 which caused the equation editor to be missing structures and formulas.
Fixed a bug in Word 2010 related to footnote style choices.
Project 2007 and 2010 can now edit dates for recurring tasks.
Fixed a crash in Project 2010 when filtering by resource name.
Visio 2002 can now search for new shapes.
Visio 2010 now displays properly when multiple shapes are open.
Star Trek Online is now faster during game updates.
Quicken 2009 no longer has garbled text on its buttons.
An issue with installation of .Net 3.5 SP1 was resolved.
World of Warcraft has had fixes related to patching and installation.
CrossOver and Wine:
CrossOver is now based on Wine 1.5.15.
CrossOver's built-in web browser will offer to download and install ActiveX controls.
CrossOver now comes bundled with the Wine-Mono package, an alternative implementation of the .Net API.
CrossOver now implements Raw Input, the set of APIs used for mouse input by games like Guild Wars 2, World of Tanks, and others.
Support for printing on a variety of paper sizes has been improved.
DirectSound has a new resampler, for higher quality audio.
CrossOver now has sub-pixel font anti-aliasing.

11.2.2 CrossOver XI Mac - September 21, 2012
Update for Compatibility with OS X 10.7.5 and 10.8.2:
This release fixes a bug which caused applications doing 3D drawing to fail to launch under CrossOver on Mac OS X 10.8.2 and 10.7.5. Because of this failure, many games, and some other applications, would not run using CrossOver on OS X 10.8.2 and 10.7.5.
If you are using any version of Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) or 10.8 (Mountain Lion), you should install this upgrade to ensure that CrossOver continues to function.

Bug Fix for Registration

11.0.1 CrossOver XI - March 20, 2012
CrossOver Mac
Attention Mac Users!
If you have registered CrossOver for 'All users' on your computer and CrossOver erroneously states that it is expired, even though you have registered it, please install this update to fix this issue.
Fix to registration: registration would fail for users who selected 'Register for all users of this computer' ... single-user registration would work as expected, but computer-wide registration, while appearing to work, would fail to register and CrossOver would expire after the demo period.

Correctly detect installed fonts.
Improve the online help.
General:
Added file locking and file change notification support.
Printing speed ups and improved printer compatibility.
Make the PPD file handling more resilient. This should fix issues with CUPS.
Fix the CUPS default printer detection.
Add support for tablets for Photoshop.
Add scripts so the technically inclined can have Windows applications open specific file types using Unix applications, for instance opening PDF files with the Unix Acrobat Reader.
Way too many other cleanups and bug fixes to list here.
