(20040505 or 20041019.) I get that they are development snapshots, and if that's what developers want to call them I have no problem with that. However, to users like me Wine is a program. A tool. It either works, or it doesn't work. If it works, great. If it doesn't work, then either we fix it or we don't use it. Developers can call it a snapshot, but out here in user space EVERYONE says 'what version are you using?'. To many users a version is a release. Let's please not digress into a semantics argument. Let's talk about how to make better tools. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
