If I may suggest another thing worth fixing: bug http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18640 This would allow a whole bunch of apps running in wine again. According to Hans' comment here (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25060#c10) the .Net 3.5 should be able to finish fine as well in current git (haven't tested that yet myself), so by fixing the aforementioned bug we could make a lot of WPF-apps in .Net 3.0 and .Net 3.5 running in wine. ATM Mono is no go for these applications. I also tested a few .Net 4.0 apps in wine recently and most of them also seem to choke in the same bug. I'm not sure how difficult this bug is to fix, but the d3d9 part seems rather easy to fix, not sure how hard the rest of the bug is to solve.

Some notes from wineconf about the 1.4 release -- are we on track?
According to Alexandre... 1.4 will be out "sometime in 2011" At the time of wineconf we already had several new features: animated cursors, 64-bit Gecko, native cursor themes, AcceptEx support, mono packages Goals for the 1.4 release: Successful 64-bit make test Successful 32-bit make test ;) RTL support Transparency/compositing XInput2 USB support Audio redesign DIB Engine There were also these suggestions: Addons or plugins of some sort - eg a theme for GTK-grabbing Dosbox integration - possibly using Windows versions as add-on - get rid of Winedos code Plus, of course, the general goal of making more applications work :) It seems like we're making serious progress. Have any of these stalled or become less important? Has any new big feature not listed above been done that's worth listing? Is "sometime in 2011" still the best guess for 1.4's release? Thanks, Scott Ritchie
