The latest Wine development release is now available but it's not particularly exciting the week before Christmas.

Wine 1.7.9 was announced today as the latest bi-weekly development snapshot. Wine 1.7.9 provides improved window moving/resizing inside the Mac driver, DirectDraw palette fixes, reduced code duplication between C++ runtime versions, and various bug-fixes. There's a total of 47 reported bug-fixes for Wine 1.7.9.

The release announcement with full details on Wine 1.7.9 can be found via WineHQ.org.
