Hello list! Last Friday a new version of wine (Version 7.6) was published. This version made The Bat! working again on wine. You will find a description of the new version on wines web page: <https://www.winehq.org/news/2022040801>
The Bat v9.5.1.0 is running on Linux (Debian64) on brand new wine v7.6 from Friday, April 8th, 2022, as 32 bit and 64 bit version without any (known) problems. The problems which where reported here <https://www.mail-archive.com/tbbeta@thebat.dutaint.com/msg115500.html> are gone with the new version of wine. There is still a known bug in wine which inhibit some functions in wine and in The Bat! when the emulated version of windows was higher than v8. The workaround is to set the emulated windows version to v8. If you want more infos about this bug, then visit this URL: <https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51178> See also "The Bat!" entry in Wines application database: <https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=38558> There are also three different installation methods described how to install "The Bat!" on Linux/Wine. If you find something is not working related to wine please send a bug report to wines Bugzilla: please consult <https://bugs.winehq.org> for more infos how to do this. IMPORTANT: Please do not send it to this list TBBETA. Please note: 1.) Plugins which are created for use under 32bit didn't work with 64bit version of "The Bat!" (not a wine problem). 2.) A connection to M$-Exchange servers isn't tested yet but may work. 3.) You may or may not find some nice bugs introduced in "The Bat!" from the windows world also in "The Bat!" on wine. So please watch also Ritlabs bug tracker very often and very closely. :) 4.) At this moment I will not test The Bat! versions above v9.
