The bug is in InternetCrackUrlW, it shouldn't require the string to be null-terminated.
Right, but I guess fixing that is no 1.0 material since there's at least 4 places where it assumes a null-terminated string, including a call to InternetCanonicalizeUrlW.
Why not? It's a bug fix and four places to fix sounds quite reasonable (>100 may not be). Maybe it's just me but I didn't feel like 1.0 would entail a deep deep freeze period where only critical/security bugs would be fixed.
Also I don't feel that the current state of Wine (or of the future Wine 1.0) is such a marvel of perfection that it justifies a deep freeze to make sure it's not going to get a tiny little scratch here or there.
So my understanding is that yeah, we're not going to introduce any big new functionality (DirectX 10 is out), or rewrite core parts of Wine (the DIB engine is out), or put the code through a prettifier, or switch to a new version control system (we're using Git already anyway). But this sounds like pretty regular bug fixing to me (unless I got the scope wrong).
