Which version of Wine is the current version of Crossover based on.

Is it possible to determine which version of Wine a particular Version of Crossover is based.
I get the impression they do a lot of regression testing and there is not a 1:1 correspondence.
But I would be interested to know what Wine version they use as a base. Is CX 7.1.0 based on
Wine 1.0.1 for instance. Similar question is it possible to ascertain what wine version will be
used for the base of the next version of CX.

In bottle configuration, on the Control Panel tab, start winecfg. It will show you a Wine version on the about tab. This is the most recent release of open-source Wine since we merged in the changes.

All of the 7.x releases of CrossOver (but not CrossOver Games) are based on Wine 0.9.60.

CrossOver 8.0 will report wine 1.1.18, but the last merge was from wine-1.1.18-100-g9c95322, the development version from 100 commits after the 1.1.18 release.

As you say, there is not a 1:1 correspondence. The CrossOver Wine tree is significantly different from open-source Wine. If you're interested in how different, you're free to grab the source code and compare.

When can we expect CX v8.x to be released? An upgrade to 7.1?

There seems to have been a number of patches to Wine (especially for running Office 2007) since the version CX 7.1 is running.

pretty soon, hopefully. We're testing alphas of CX 8.0 right now. The beta cycles should start in a week or so, and our target is to have the final product ready to ship (download) in May.

Of course, things do go wrong and schedules change, but at this time we're pretty confident that the product will go out sometime in May. And it will be glorious.
