==Versions== ===CrossOver Linux=== CrossOver Linux is the original version of CrossOver. It aims to properly integrate with the [[GNOME]] and [[KDE Plasma|KDE]] [[desktop environment]]s so that Windows applications will run seamlessly on Linux distributions. Before version 6, it was called CrossOver Office. CrossOver Linux was originally offered in Standard and Professional editions. CrossOver Linux Standard was designed for a single user account on a machine. CrossOver Linux Professional provided enhanced deployment and management features for corporate users and multiple user accounts per machine. With the release of CrossOver Linux 11 in 2012, these different editions merged into a single CrossOver Linux product. ===CrossOver Mac=== In 2005, [[Apple Inc.|Apple]] announced a transition from [[PowerPC]] to [[Intel]] processors in their computers, which allowed CodeWeavers to develop a [[Mac OS X]] version of CrossOver Office called 'CrossOver Mac'<ref>{{cite press release|url=https://www.codeweavers.com/about/general/press/?id=20050622 |title=CodeWeavers Expands Developer Services, Enabling Future Windows Application Porting To Mac OS |publisher=CodeWeavers |location=SAINT PAUL, MN |date=June 22, 2005 |accessdate=2009-01-03}}</ref> CrossOver Mac was released on January 10, 2007.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://slashdot.org/story/07/01/10/1924235/codeweavers-releases-crossover-6-for-mac-and-linux |title=CodeWeavers Releases CrossOver 6 for Mac and Linux |publisher=Slashdot |date=January 10, 2007 |accessdate=2020-01-18}}</ref> With the release of CrossOver Mac 7 on June 17, 2008, CrossOver Mac was divided into Standard and Pro editions like CrossOver Linux. The Standard version included six months of support and upgrades, while the Pro version included one year of support and upgrades, along with a bundled copy of CrossOver Games. With the release of CrossOver Mac 11 in 2012 these different editions were all merged into a single CrossOver Mac product. In 2019, [[macOS Catalina]] went 64-bit only and eliminated support for 32-bit programs and libraries. In December 2019 Codeweavers released CrossOver 19, providing support for 32 bit Windows applications on an operating system with no 32 bit libraries solving this problem.<ref>{{cite web |title=So We Don't Have a Solution for Catalina...Yet|last=Schmid|first=Jana |url=https://www.codeweavers.com/blog/jschmid/2019/9/10/so-we-dont-have-a-solution-for-catalinayet |website=CodeWeavers |language=en}}</ref> The technique, known as "wine32on64", requires using modified [[LLVM]] to build additional [[thunk]] code that allows running 32-bit programs in a 64-bit wine.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Thomases |first1=Ken |title=win32 on macOS |url=https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2019-December/156602.html |date=December 11, 2019}}</ref> In early June 2023, CodeWeavers announced early stages of [[DirectX|DirectX 12]] support on macOS would be available in CrossOver 23.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Cunningham |first=Andrew |date=2023-06-05 |title=New DirectX 12-to-Metal translation could bring a world of Windows games to macOS |url=https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2023/06/new-directx-12-to-metal-translation-could-bring-a-world-of-windows-games-to-macos/ |access-date=2023-06-08 |website=Ars Technica |language=en-us}}</ref> At [[WWDC 2023]], Apple announced the Game Porting Toolkit based on CrossOver to bring Windows games to macOS.
