That's true at this precise moment. But thus far, the wine developers have typically released a new development version of wine every two weeks or so.

If their trend continues, I expect wine-devel to be updated to version 1.3.0 within a few days. If you want to track these new developments, stick with wine-devel. If you want to stay with the stable version of wine, use the wine port to get version 1.2, but note that the last stable version of wine before 1.2 was 1.0.1 which was two years old. A ****lot**** happens in wine development in that period of time. If you're feeling adventurous, and would like to receive bug fixes and enhancements sooner rather than waiting years, at the expense of possibly encountering new bugs for awhile until they're fixed, then use wine-devel.
