"Stable" means "doesn't change often," not "works better." Most apps work better in the latest development release.

However, in this case, Replay Media Catcher apparently worked in 1.0.1, and there's a known regression.

The bug report indicates that the regression is due to Wine's GUI crash dialog. You can try running it in current Wine with the crash dialog disabled (it's useless anyway). http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-c857c433cf9fc1dcd90b8369ef75c325483c91d6
