Well, not exactly; the release will be made once I no longer have any
bug reports to work on. So if you feel the code is not ready for
release, you better send me bug reports...

So far the things I'm working on are:

- ScrollWindow doesn't always get exposure events
- client rect must be empty for zero size window
- must create X window before WM_NCCREATE
- hardware events priority order is messed up
- ControlSpy refresh (?? needs more details)

So if you see problems that are not listed here, you have to report
them or they won't get fixed before the release.

Latest Wine changes make DXGrab unusable

Well, if reporting a bug helps getting it fixed...

DXGrab no longer works. If DXGrab is enabled, full-screen applications
stop getting mouse events. If I understand how GrabPointer works,
this is because Wine threads have their own connections 
to xserver and after grab only one connection can get pointer
events. I could be wrong, though: I haven't had time to properly
debug the situation.

Obviously this bug is not a very high priority one.
It makes me wonder if everybody else is using XFree 4.0, though.
