Bet you never thought it would happen!
The code freeze will be less rigid at first, but we're
serious about not destabilizing Wine at this point.
So go ahead and post your patches, but make sure
you've got your ducks in a row, and don't be surprised
if Alexandre pushes back.

Wine Release Countdown
Wine 1.0 now in code freeze. 6 days to first release candidate.
See WineReleasePlan for details.
wine-0.9.61 was released on Friday, May 2nd, 2008. Wine is now in a
code freeze in preparation for the 1.0 release.
According to http://wiki.winehq.org/WineReleasePlan, wine-1.0.0-rc1,
due out Friday, May 9, 2008, will be the first release candidate for
1.0.
During the code freeze, patches that
* are simple
* come with a conformance test
* fix a regression
* are low risk
are more likely to get in than other patches. (Heck, that's always
true, but it's even truer during a freeze.) We will actively
discourage patches that might endanger a June 1.0 release.
Bug Status
There are 45 open 1.0 bugs as of 2 May. Most of these will simply be
rolled over to be fixed for a later release; we only have time to fix
a few, and much as we'd like to fix the rest, most are not
showstoppers.
