The danger with specifying 1.1 versions is that one is released every two weeks. It can quickly become obsolete, and in a few months (or years) time users may get confused as to why they can't find the exact version you specify any more. > And then, a footnote: "Works with wine 1.1.24, openSuSe 11.1 linux, see > Appendix A "Technical notes/Descriptions" (Have to come up with a better > name) for more information" > And then in the appendix, a small description of what wine is, something > along the lines of : > [wine official logo] wine: Application compatibility layer that allows > running software designed for windows on other OSses. > Follows a list of OSes that are supported (resp. architectures etc.) and > then a note that wine is work in progress so experience with later/previous > versions may vary (will think of a better way to put it). > Thoughts? This would only be practical for an electronic, online manual which you would update after rigorous testing of each new release.
