As you may have noticed, the Ubuntu and Debian repository wasn't working for a while.
It is now back but at an other address.
So you have to modify your source.list file, replacing: http://playonlinux.botux.net with http://deb.mulx.net
The key didn't change ;)


About the PlayOnLinux repository for Fedora, their is now a package at your disposal to automatically add it to your list.
The concerned package is here: http://www.mulx.net/rpm/playonlinux-yum-3-1.noarch.rpm

Hello,

Here is a short news to announce PlayOnLinux 3.1's release.

The changes are:

- A bug with proxy server's support fixed
- The http://www.playonlinux.com/changelog.html page is displayed after each update of PlayOnLinux, to inform the user of the changes
- Display of a mark (a number of stars) for each application depending on their popularity. This mark is automatically calculated from the collected statistics. Here is what it looks like:

- playonlinux-daemon, the new feature added in the beta. For those who didn't keep up with the development, see the beta's release news
- A fixed bug in wine version (If you had all Wine's versions, the window won't open)
- The #playonlinux-en channel added
- The Program Files directory bug is fixed (this directory is named differently in some languages, what was resulting in directory errors)

Good evening everybody,

A new version of the Advanced Wine Configuration plugin is now available, it brings 2 new options: Multisampling and Mouse Warp Override:

-The Multisampling option allows, especially in conjunction with the fbo one, to get a better rendering in some games like Half-Life 2 or the Prince of Persia series, mainly with Nvidia cards. This option enables some improvements independently of the video card too.

-The Mouse Warp Override option prevents the mouse's pointer to escape from your application's window even with Window Managers like Fluxbox (For information, Gnome is a Desktop Environment of which Metacity is the Window Manager).
You can even force this state, what can be useful with games of which videos allow the mouse's pointer to be moved.

You will find the plugin in the download section or directly HERE.

Have a good game all

Hello everybody,

Here are several informations about the Chat (or IRC).

In addition, public conversations are registered, and available at this address http://www.mulx.net/irc/

For your information, rules are applied in the channels, and you can read them here http://www.playonlinux.com/fr/irc-rules.html

Last information, the #playonlinux channel becomes multi-language, so you can speak French, English, German, etc.

Hello dear POLians;

I announce via this news my departure from the team. I quit my role of website administrator .

Why?

Well, I was more and more inactive on the website, from all the points of view, I think I was starting to be fed up. Recently, I had the choice to quit or to continue the project. Finding my presence useless, I decided to quit it. Nevertheless, I will be present if the team needs help. Moreover, being in sixth form, I decided to dedicate myself a lot more to my studies since I have pretty big projects . I don't quit this project because I find it not promising enough; it's in continual progress and I'm convinced that, some day, every Linux user will know this project.

I will come occasionally and see how the project evolves or even answer to questions on the forum.

I'll may not be missed since we can't say I was omnipresent on the forum .

You will still be able to contact me at goku <at > playonlinux . com

With that, all the best with PlayOnLinux!
