Lina Software Announces Beta Release of LINA 1.0

Lina Software has reportedly announced the beta release of its application portability solution LINA 1.0.

 

LINA helps Linux applications run with native look and feel on all major operating systems, including Windows, Mac, and Linux. It enables developers to write and compile code using free Open Source Linux tools, then quickly transform the resulting application into a LINA universal installer that will run on all platforms.

 

Users can easily install and run LINAfied Linux applications thanks to the LINA runtime environment that runs invisibly in the background of any operating system.

 

LINA 1.0 will help Linux software developers to reach new markets more efficiently and simplify the end-user experience. The developers will also be able to run Linux applications without migrating from existing hardware.

 

According to company’s sources, the LINA 1.0 beta version was released under the GNU General Public License, version 2. This release includes a number of features including click-through application installers that simplify enterprise deployment and reduce costly end-user support.

 

The solution lets Linux software applications match the look and feel of the host operating system. Thanks to LINA’s single code base, developers can market to users of all three major platforms with a single executable.

 

Developers can now reuse Open Source Linux components compiled for LINA to accelerate product time-to-market. Also, LINA applications can run at native speeds on Linux operating systems and at near-native speeds on other operating systems.

 

LINA 1.0 is available immediately. The company said it will soon launch further new application features, platforms, and technology upgrades for the LINA product suite.

 

According to James McGreen, CEO of Lina Software, they aim to create widespread adoption of Open Source Linux software by a radical departure from business as usual.

 

"Our mission statement captures this revolutionary goal, "'one world, one source.'"
