Anyone who really wants to have the version that feels like a "dev" version should try running the git version. This is lots of fun, if you like breaking things, and catches regressions early! http://wiki.winehq.org/GitWine http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting And you can in fact compile it in your home directory and make a separate WINEPREFIX for it, so you can try stuff in the git trunk but still have the reasonably reliable 1.1.x versions your distro gives you :-) - d.
