wine users - Sep 2009 - New user: Need some information about next stable release

Hi everybody,
I want to present myself with a little question. And don't worry, it nothing
like "linux is not working like windows" *g*
Normaly I google as long as I found something, but in this case, I cannot find a
good answer.

The Story so far:
I use linux for ~5 years now and wine within Debian Sid(ux) for about 2 years
(before with Knotix) now.
With Deian Sid, I have for quiete a while the Wine Stable Release 1.0.something.
I use it for Applications like Canon DPP (still with two displayerrors),
Panarama Studio, Porta and mp3directcut.

unfortuantly I need a Version of HEssGiss (a chemical Database) running, which
needs a MS Acess underneath.... Arggg..
I have a official MS Office 2000, which would be enough, but I cannot enter the
Prodoct Key (official bug see
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=5124)

I tried the explained solution, but it doesn't work.
So I wait patiently for month for a new release...

So so question would be, if there are already planes for a new stable
release...?
I remeber reading at the homepage in june, that it should be done really
quick... but I cannot find this anylonger.

Thanks for your time and your wonderful software

The AppDB states clearly that the "official bug" you're referring
to was fixed in 1.1.2 and that users of older versions, including the
"stable" release, should upgrade to the latest development release.

sure!
My problem is, that I am not to sure about mixing debian experimental and debian
sid. Never did this before - and in the siduxforum everybody said to me, that it
would be best to wait until a newer version is in sid...
