Wine 1.0 Release Criteria
Wine 1.0.0 is scheduled to be released sometime around Wine's 15th birthday (see WineReleasePlan). That means that the number of things we can fix before release is limited.
A small set of popular, useful, and freely downloadable applications already run well, and must continue to run well as we prepare for the 1.0.0 release:
Photoshop CS2 tryout
Microsoft Powerpoint Viewer 97 and 2003
Microsoft Word Viewer 97 and 2003
Microsoft Excel Viewer 97 and 2003
Applications that ran well as of about wine-0.9.50 or later should continue to run well. If you find any new bugs in these applications, please file issues for them in Bugzilla, and target them for 1.0.0. See also PlatinumRegressionHunt.
Here's the current list:
As of May 5th, there are 43 bugs on this list.
Bugs targeted for 1.0.0 are very likely be deferred to 1.2.0 if it's clear they cannot be fixed quickly, e.g. if they were created 90 days ago and have not had any progress in 30 days. e.g. Here's a canned search for bugs with target_milestone=1.0.0, with creation date less than e.g. 20080205 and modified date less than e.g. 20080405. (Bugs with really good analysis and/or patches might be kept open even if there hasn't been any motion in 30 days.)
The wine-1.0 release will happen once "few enough" new regression reports are trickling in, and we have fixed "enough" of the known 1.0 bugs. (This is a judgement call to be made by the maintainer with some help from the release manager.)
