Somehow missed it before. Maybe I'll update later. There's just too much here I don't understand, including the actual meanings of some of the words that are used. I'm 71, didn't grow up with any of this stuff and I don't learn like I used to. > > Is a development version a beta release? Always?

Development releases were the normal releases, so sorta betas. They get the new features, etc. Stable versions are essentially frozen. And with the speed at which Wine develops, it's best to use the development release, unless you've got a regression. -- -Austin
