Given the way Wine versioning works, I wouldn&#x27;t expect any significant changes from the latest 1.7.x cycle. Wine uses the same versioning system that Linux used prior to (and perhaps after, I&#x27;m not sure) the 3.0 release. The second number represents a stable version if it&#x27;s even or an unstable development version if it&#x27;s odd. Odd releases are used to &quot;build up&quot; new features towards an even-numbered release.
