Hi all,
I've just uploaded a new Wine Gecko beta package. It's a bit earlier than we usually updated the package, but it's part of the plan. The last release was the most successful ever - we've successfully avoided regressions and fixed existing bugs. The fact that we had long (over month) beta period and that the release was made based on stable Firefox release helped a lot IMO. We can improve stability of Gecko package by releasing more often, meaning less changes are included in each single release. We can do this thanks to Mozilla rapid release cycles, that gives us a chance to release Wine Gecko based on the very recent code base, stabilized by Mozilla every six weeks. Six weeks releases are, however, more than we can handle and more than we need, so my current plan is to release every two Firerox version (that is every 12 weeks), with no pressure.
Firefox 6 will be released over next few days, but I will be on vacations for a week, so our Gecko release will be a bit later. I haven't heard about any regression so far. Also changes in Mozilla code since out beta seem pretty safe, so unless I will hear about any regression, there won't be RC build and I will do the final build when I'm back.
