        @vvillenave I was thinking between any release at all, including a bugfix release, but between "major" releases would also be interesting

        @mlinksva WRT major releases, http://www.winehq.org/announce/1.0 comes to mind... But that's more of a symbolic 1.0 than anything else.

        @vvillenave and there wasn't a previous "major" release. But maybe wine holds different record, for time till first major release.
