wine users - Dec 2009 - Can I change from Development to Stable maintaining my apps?

I've instaled 1.2 (Development) on KUbuntu 9.10
I've instaled some Windows apps but I,ve some stability problems.
If I remove 1.2 and install the stable version mantaining my .wine directory
sould my Windows programs work?

The designation "stable" refers to the branch as a whole, in the sense
of "it doesn't change often." It does not refer to performance.
Unless there's a regression, most apps will perform better in the latest
development release than in the "stable" version.

As for your situation, it depends on what apps you're running. Check the
AppDB for information on how your particular apps performed under 1.0.1, and
check bugzilla for known regressions.  Ultimately, though, the only way to know
if your apps will work better in the older version is to try it.

I will try, thanks.

Sorry most likely swaping back to 1.0.1 it will not work due to registry
differences between the wine versions.

I am sorry to say 1.2 is not a offical wine version yet.   It something ubuntu
has done.    Inside there is a 1.1.x something.   The 1.1.x development line is
not compatible with 1.0.1 line.

Ubuntu could not be happy with labing the wine development line what it is.  ie
1.1.x
