Wine is een opensource-implementatie van de Windows-api. Dit maakt het mogelijk om DOS- en Windows-programma's op onder andere Linux, FreeBSD en Mac OS X te draaien. Elke vrijdag om de andere week verschijnt er een nieuwe ontwikkelbuild. Aan Wine wordt door een grote groep ontwikkelaars bijgedragen, vandaar dat gekozen is om elke twee weken een nieuwe build de deur uit te doen, in plaats van te wachten tot er een aantal nieuwe functies klaar zijn. Eens in de zoveel tijd komt er echter een stabiele release beschikbaar en op dit moment is hier de vijfde release candidate van verschenen. Hieronder is te vinden wat er in deze release allemaal veranderd en verbeterd is:
