Wine 1.2 release candidate has been released.

Wine 1.2 is not yet released as expected but now a new release candidate for Wine 1.2 has been released. This is the sixth release candidate for Wine 1.2. Wine 1.2 RC6 has a lot of bug-fixes and some more translations. There are still a few bugs left to be fixed but I hope that it will get solved and Wine 1.2 will be released this month.
