Stabilizing for Wine 0.9 Release Archive
Project Management
That's right, Wine really is going to see a beta release Real Soon Now. We've been talking about it forever but it's taken till now for everything to come together. Now it boils down to testing, bug fixing, and generally making Wine usable for the masses. The beta release will still have boatloads of bugs, but the significance will be the core architecture is complete and configuration works out of the box. Alexandre dropped a note asking for assistance from the community and outlining the short-term plans:
Folks,
I just released 20050930, this should be considered the pre-0.9 release, so please give it some good testing. In particular, please test the things that new users will encounter first, like the automatic .wine creation and winecfg.
