In other things alexandre julliard give some greetings, some maintainer related information and announce first wine 2.1 development release must be appear next february 3rd

QuoteCongrats to everybody for the 2.0 release!

I'm particularly pleased with the progress we've made on fixing
regressions, I didn't expect we'd get that many. Thanks all!

The master branch is now open for development again.

I'll go through the patches that are still in the queue, but please resend any patch that had been marked Deferred.

I'll also resume the biweekly development release cycle, starting with
release 2.1 on February 3rd.

Despite fierce competition, Michael Stefaniuc once again took the
coveted job of Stable Branch Maintainer.

He'll be making regular 2.0.x releases.

I've also implemented the patch reviewer assignment scheme that we
discussed at WineConf.

From now on, patches that stay in the queue unreviewed for a week will be assigned a reviewer automatically.

The algorithm is prioritizing people who said they have some knowledge about
the area (the P: entries in the MAINTAINERS file), before grabbing
someone at random from the wildcard entry.

If you feel that there are areas where you could help reviewing patches,
but don't feel comfortable putting yourself up as maintainer, please
consider adding an entry for yourself as a knowledgeable person.

If you are asked to review a patch, and you think it looks good but
don't feel that you know enough to sign off on it, please just send a
reply saying "looks OK to me" or something like that.

I may then ask someone else to have a further look, or do it myself.

Any review helps, even without a full signoff.

Looking forward to 3.0 :-)

AMD 'Ryzen' is the official name of the Zen processors, more details released today

Quoting: EhvisI've always chosen my CPUs based on single core performance.

Even today that is still a good selection for real world performance.

So, I'll keep an eye on this and see how it all works out in practice.

In my case choose new cpu using same parameter

I stay interested in i3 7350K because at stock clock have 20% more speed in single core (geekbench) compared my actual Pentium G3258 @ 4.1Ghz

20% is good but is low, in i3 7350K stay interested in how much is possible OC using air cooling solution without surpass 60 to 65 degrees

But if i3 7350K can OC to 5.0 or 5.2Ghz with 1.3 of vcore (maximum) and without surpass 60 to 65 degrees using air cooling solution will be must have in my case
