+      <p>The Wine on &os; project has been steadily forging ahead for
+	the past three quarters and has updated the ports for the following
+	versions:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>Stable releases: 1.6.2 (3 port revisions)</li>
+	<li>Development releases: 1.7.16 through 1.7.33</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>The ports have packages built for amd64 (available through the
+	ports emulators/i386-wine and i386-wine-devel) for &os; 8.4, 9.1+,
+	10.0+ and CURRENT.</p>
+
+      <p>Accomplishments include:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>Upstreaming 33 patches to fix Wine on &os; — many
+	  thanks to Gerald for this work.</li>
+	<li>Migrating to the USES framework.</li>
+	<li>Building Wine with the X compositing extension.</li>
+	<li>Adding support for MPG123 and V4L.</li>
+	<li>Backporting changes made to the -devel ports to the stable
+	  ones and fixing minutiae here and there.</li>
+	<li>Creating a new Wine port for the Compholio patches.</li>
+	<li>Changing i386-wine(-devel) to set the
+	  <tt>LD_LIBRARY_PATH_RPATH</tt> variable.</li>
+	<li>Improving library bundling for i386-wine(-devel).</li>
+	<li>Various improvements to the patch-nvidia.sh script for
+	  i386-wine(-devel).</li>
+	<li>Various smaller changes.</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>We would like to thank all volunteers who contributed feedback
+	or even patches.  We would also like to welcome kmoore@ to the Wine
+	team.  He has been extensively involved in bring wine-compholio to the
+	Ports Collection.</p>
+
+      <p>Future development on Wine will focus on:</p>
+
+      <ul>
+	<li>Creating a 64-bit capable port of Wine (aka Wine64).</li>
+	<li>Creating a WoW64 capable port of Wine (aka Wine + Wine64).</li>
+	<li>Fixing directory listing on &os; 8 and 9.</li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p>Maintaining and improving Wine is a major undertaking that
+	directly impacts end-users on &os; (including many gamers).  If you
+	are interested in helping please contact us.  We will happily accept
+	patches, suggest areas of focus or have a chat.</p>
