What is Wine?
Wine (formerly, WINE - Wine Is Not Emulator)is a software abstraction layer for running windows binary application on GNU/Linux and unix platforms. Instead of providing an emulated windows base, Wine maps windows system calls to unix system calls on real time and hence provides better performance.

Being a maintenance release in 2.0.x series, Wine 2.0.1 does not bring any new features. But it fixes 47 bugs reported in previous stable release and provides more stability.
Following are bug fixes present in Wine 2.0.1 release:
