WineConf 2005 Sets Deadline for Wine 0.9

Posted by timothy on from the windows-users-decant-of-your-sins dept.

IamTheRealMike writes "As WineConf 2005 took place last weekend, the Wine developers discussed the project's direction and future. A new deadline of September 30th for the 0.9 release was set by Alexandre Julliard -- the release promises to bring an end to the system of monthly snapshots and provide a new focus on ease of use and stability. A new GPLd application regression testing tool called CXTest was demoed, as was some of the great Direct3D work being done lately. Finally the CEO of Gupta gave a talk. Gupta have ported their 4GL RAD tools to Linux by working with Codeweavers (who sponsored the event), and their experiences were documented in a fascinating presentation. Overall: big thumbs up, but it's not obvious enough that there's enterprise-level support available for Wine. Check out the group photo and the new Wiki!"

      Nor can I be the only one who just had a hard, brutal reminder to Preview and look closely before submitting. Let's try that again.

      I can't be the only one who expected to see "<WINE Developers>" under each of the names in the group photo.
