The Status of WINE 1.0: Arriving Soon

Posted by Michael Larabel on June 12, 2008

WINE 1.0-rc4 was released last Friday and today the news coming out of WINE HQ is that WINE 1.0-rc5 -- the final release candidate before WINE 1.0 -- will be released tomorrow. Following the release of RC5, WINE 1.0.0 is expected to enter this world just a few days later. In this announcement, it was also mentioned that WINE 1.0.1 is planned for release in one to two months time.

The WINE 1.0 blocker bug list hasn't been cleared, but four more bugs have recently been fixed. Five new bugs have been deferred as blockers for WINE 1.0.1 and 20 bugs have been set as part of the work towards WINE 1.2.0 (there's no ETA on that release).
