Dan Kegel the Wine 1.0 release manager today posted the below email to the Wine-Development mailing list. The email has changes since last week (with category and votes) and other information that I though might be of interest.

Bet you never thought it would happen!

The code freeze will be less rigid at first, but we're serious about not destabilizing Wine at this point. So go ahead and post your patches, but make sure you've got your ducks in a row, and don't be surprised if Alexandre pushes back.

A clickable version of the following info is at

Wine Release Countdown:

Wine 1.0 now in code freeze. 6 days to first release candidate.

See WineReleasePlan for details.

wine-0.9.61 was released on Friday, May 2nd, 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-rc1, due out Friday, May 9, 2008, will be the first release candidate for 1.0.

During the code freeze, patches that

* are simple
* come with a conformance test
* fix a regression
* are low risk

are more likely to get in than other patches. (Heck, that's always true, but it's even truer during a freeze.) We will actively discourage patches that might endanger a June 1.0 release.

Bug Status :

There are 45 open 1.0 bugs as of 2 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.
