Wine Release Status
Wine 1.0rc1 released on May 9. 6 days to second release candidate.
wine-1.0rc1 was released on Friday, May 9th, 2008. Wine is now in a code freeze in preparation for the 1.0 release.
According to http://wiki.winehq.org/WineReleasePlan, wine-1.0.0-rc2 will be due out Friday, May 23rd, 2008. It will be something like be the next to last release candidate for 1.0.
Alexandre is on vacation, so git is a bit stale. In particular, Photoshop CS2 and DNS 9 don't install properly due to a regression introduced just before his vacation started; here's the fix.
Some effort has been put into making it easy for people to automatically report "make test" failures; see MakeTestFailures for info and results.
Bug Status
There are 27 open 1.0 bugs as of 16 May. Most of these will simply be rolled over to be fixed for a later release; we only have time to fix a few, and much as we'd like to fix the rest, most are not showstoppers.
