On January 17, just 10 days ago, WineHQ He launched WINE 9.0, the new stable version of this software that allows you to use Windows applications on other operating systems. The launch marked the end of the development cycle that began a year earlier, and a new one began a few hours ago. The version that they gave us, WINE 9.1, is not stable, but the first of WINE 10 which, if there are no changes in the next 12 months, will arrive in early 2025.
If anyone has doubts regarding the numbering, today that WINE 9.1 has arrived, which is the first development version of WINE 10, and the first maintenance update of the current version will be WINE 9.0.1 that will arrive when they consider it appropriate. If there are any other bug fix releases, they will be numbered 9.0.2, 9.0.3, etc. The change of the first decimal takes place in the development versions that prepare the next stable one.
