Understanding release names/meanings? #33

Closed sygibson closed 2 years ago

Thank you for pulling this together ! Great resource.

I was trying to understand the differences between stable, devel, and staging release tagged versions.

stable is pretty easy - it's currently pinned to 7.0 I see that both devel and staging versions have been release in 7.0 through 7.3 versions.

My question revolves more around .... "what's the difference between the devel and staging versions"?

wine-devel is upstream wine point releases every two weeks.


wine-staging

Wine Staging is the testing area of winehq.org. It contains bug fixes and features, which have not been integrated into the development branch yet. The idea of Wine Staging is to provide experimental features faster to end users and to give developers the possibility to discuss and improve their patches before they are integrated into the main branch. More information about Wine Staging can also be found on the WineHQ wiki.
