PlayOnLinux 3.8.1 is available!
Friday 3 September 2010 at 15:10
Hi everybody!
PlayOnLinux 3.8.1 was released this morning.
Bugs #30 and #31 were fixed.
Function introduced with PoL 3.7.7, for auto_shortcut was buggy in last release, now fixed.
Full rewrite of an internal function that installs a plugin shipped with PoL automatically on startup.
Plugin Capture was updated with the last version (2.1.1).
Translation was updated with the last available on Launchpad (synced the 2010-09-02).
And finally new tools appeared, playonlinux-cmd.
Many thanks for all translators, I don't know how to export the nicknames of people that made translations on Launchpad. With your help PlayOnLinux is now translated in a least 3 new languages such as Korean, Czech, Turkish...
You can continue to help by translating, the next release will be synced with the latest translations.
This is a new tool to manage PlayOnLinux in scripts, this was requested on the bug tracker as a feature... and this tool is not yet fully finished.
Currently you can ask for an update of the script database, run already installed software and start the installation of an application.
There are some known bugs that I discovered just after releasing PoL 3.8.1. Currently you can't use this software if you have never run PlayOnLinux before (will be fixed in next release).
To force an update:
To start an installation:
To run already installed sofware:
Please note that --start-install doesn't install silently but just directly opens the graphical GUI for the software that you request, so you always need to answer prompts.
We advise you update your PlayOnLinux version.
