Wine Release Status

Wine 1.0rc1 released on May 9. 6 days to second release candidate.

wine-1.0rc1 was released on Friday, May 9th, 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-rc2
will be due out Friday, May 23rd, 2008. It will be something like be
the next to last release candidate for 1.0.

Alexandre is on vacation, so git is a bit stale.
In particular, Photoshop CS2 and DNS 9 don't install properly due to a
regression introduced just before his vacation started; here's the
fix.

Some effort has been put into making it easy for people to
automatically report "make test" failures; see MakeTestFailures for
info and results.

Bug Status

There are 27 open 1.0 bugs as of 16 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.
