The AppDB is currently set up to query Bugzilla for its six latest Wine versions. Unfortunately this does not include the latest stable version of Wine (currently 1.0.1, and in the future 1.2 will also be omitted).
A change to how the AppDB works is needed to add 1.0.1 back to the list. As 1.0.1 is listed as "stable", it would make sense that distros (Ubuntu for example) will provide support for this version only.
As discussed in the bug, not having this version in the AppDB does not stop users from submitting test results anyway using any version they feel like selecting, and therefore reporting, often incorrectly (due to regressions), that apps run fine on later versions of Wine.
As also discussed, if an Admin catches such test results in the queue before they are accepted, they can be rejected, but maintainers can submit whatever results they wish without admin approval. Test results are rejected daily, so this is a problem.
Attached is a patch that hopefully looks something like what needs to be added to the AppDB code. This was made by me, who has never used PHP before and have given myself about an hour's "training" to figure it out. It is probably wrong.
Could anybody offer some help with this issue?
Thanks, Ken.
Thanks for working on this issue!
We should probably add a mechanism that would require less maintainance, by declaring a set of stable branches that should be included in the version list, such as 1.0 and 1.2.
Do you think you could do that?

I doubt I could do that. As I said, what I know about PHP I could teach George Bush.
I don't really have the time to figure it out right now. I'll happily look at it later, but it could be months from now!
Unless someone else wants to? :)
A quick-fix would do for now, but as you say, there's a better way.
Ken.
