The 1.0.1 wine is over one year old now. There aren't any newer "stable" wine versions. There is nothing special in 1.0.1, except is was a release target (something like a "milestone release") and the developers tried the best to fix maximum things, even at the cost of removing things which could cause problems (at the time of releasing wine 1.0). Current "development releases" are much more complete and some of them are stable at least as the 1.0.1, maybe even much more. Don't be afraid to get the "development release", because AFAIK, there are no plans to release a new milestone in a really near future. Regards, Pavel
