How often is Wine updated?

I've asked around and people say that Wine does have bugs with even the Windows programs that it's supposed to make to support.

Pretty often. It's far from perfect, but does work more often than
not, particularly on old programs.

New development versions come out every two weeks.

Every 1 to 2 months there is a new release.

Dev version every two weeks, "stable" releases ... well, there's been
one, last year! Should be one this year, hopefully.

I see that this is getting faster than before, is there a fixed
schedule of two weeks now?

It's been every two weeks (with some gaps) ever since at least 0.9,
years ago, and probably before.
