Finally, the so called ’stable’ version of Wine, 1.0, has been released on June 17, 2008.
The last Wine review I made was for 1.0RC2 (release candidate 2), in which I already tested World of WarCraft, mIRC and DC++. I had no issues with World of WarCraft (tested using a trial account) which performs very well, without any visible problems, DC++ has minor stability problems and the mIRC scripts editor crashes, but otherwise, mIRC behaves good enough.
The Wine team is proud to announce that Wine 1.0 is now available.
This is the first stable release of Wine after 15 years of development
and beta testing. Many thanks to everybody who helped us along that
long road!
While compatibility is not perfect yet, thousands of applications have
been reported to work very well. Check http://appdb.winehq.org to see
the details for your favorite applications.

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.

Following the WINE 0.9.61 release this morning, the WINE code-base is now in a freeze up to version 1.0. Initially this code freeze is more of a “code frost” turning away patches that might risk introducing new regressions that would set back the 1.0 release date, but eventually the code will become frozen…

For far longer than any of its developers would care to recall, Wine, the best program to use in Linux to run Windows applications, has been in development. Now, at long last, Wine 1.0 is scheduled to be released.
To be exact, Wine (Wine is not an emulator) 1.0 should appear June 6, on the project’s 15th birthday. While at this point there are 1,229 Windows applications that install and run out of the box, the Platinum applications, using Wine on Linux, only four Microsoft applications – Photoshop CS2, PowerPoint Viewer 97 and 2003, and Word Viewer 97 and 2003, and Excel Viewer 97 and 2003 – are being considered as critical for the 1.0 release. The reason for this, the Wine developers explain in the Wine 1.0 release plan, is that “expanding that list is that each new app adds a huge amount of testing to each release.”
Today while browsing around the CodeWeavers site I came across the 2008 CrossOver roadmap that was posted by Jeremy White the CEO of CodeWeavers. About three paragraphs into the roadmap Jeremy reveals that they plan to release a gaming product in the next couple weeks, called CrossOver Games.
