Wine 1.0 On The Menu For Desktop Linux Users
,----[ Quote ]
| It looks like Wine's time has finally come: Version 1.0 of the Windows
| emulation software is now slated for a June release. And Linux users almost
| certainly have Google -- or, at least, Google's money -- to thank for moving
| things along.
|
| At this point, Wine has been in development nearly 15 years. No, that's not a
| typo, and there shouldn't be a decimal between the 1 and 5. Of course, for
| most of that time, Wine was an all-volunteer effort; even at the best of
| times, the project was often sorely lacking in QA resources.
|
| Codeweavers, which now sponsors Wine development and uses the software as the
| basis for its own Crossover Linux product, certainly helped to pick up the
| development pace: Today, Wine supports nearly 1,300 Windows apps to one
| degree or another, including outstanding support for Adobe Photoshop CS2.

| Dan in return modified the release criteria and Alexandre thought the new
| changes looked good. Later in the thread a couple people asked about small
| janitorial patches, and it was agreed if the changes were low risk they
| should be applied and go into Wine 1.0 with larger patches being deferred to
| Wine 1.1.0
