Wine's dot oh releases have no special meaning whatsoever and never had. Each release fixes old bugs and sometimes introduces new bugs or regressions. Dot oh releases are not exempt from this at all. Just saying.

And that's how software development works for every single piece of software in the universe? Well, except for Mozilla, which makes a major release for every single bugfix...

Sky is blue. Just saying.

There is something called semantic versioning.

No, there are maintenance releases for the .0 version for a year. Wine 3.0.4 was the last release. Those are the releases with fixes that don't probably introduce regressions. And even in the RCs before the stop introducing more fundamental changes. This is stable as such a project can be and there seems to be a demand for it.

Without this stable release, it really doesn't matter how the versioning is. You just need to see a progress. There is no real fixing point for any special version without it. Just saying.

Well, this is development version or bi-weekly git checkout version if you like

Each release fixes old bugs and sometimes introduces new bugs or regressions.

Which is normal for development isn't it

On Phoronix let say 90%+ are news of some development, so If Michael does not say Development Version on every title i guess you still have brain to figure out what is what

Even if you go to winehq.org site you could see that this version is marked as development version, so.

Major things happens usually quarterly, semi-annually, annually or even once it 2 years, etc... while daily is mostly development progressions and of course some regressions

It don't? I thought the .0 versions are RELEASE versions. That you find them to be "nothing special" does not automatically make it nothing special..

I mean, its not unique to Wine to do a x.0 release version. If bugs are fixed with this release version, it will be called 4.0.1. (Ie. 4.0 rev. 1). Another bug(s) fixed: 4.0.2.

New functions and whatnot - developer - 4.1, 4.2 and so on. Saying "nothing special" would be the same for anything. "Nothing special with Ubuntu 18.04 release either.. cos it had this and that bug" ? Wine 4.0 have NEW FUNCTIONS vs. the last release 3.0.
