Release Notes for PCGen v5.7.8 Alpha
What's new for v5.7.8
Well, here it is, another step taken towards the 5.8 stable release. In fact, I'll make a bold prediction
(and I dare everyone to make it happens): this should be the last Alpha release before 5.8. There, I said it.
Come on Monkeys, don't make a liar out of me! :-)
We have a new source this release: Faeries from Bastion Press.
Big thanks to Anthony K. Harvey also known
as Darkon Turas for this.
As usual, Paul W. King has a budget to buy souls, drop him a line if you have time to volunteer to the project
(paulking.rhochi@verizon.net). Keep your comment and
bug report coming, we really enjoy them (in fact, we count on them).

Known Bugs
- Badly formed MOVE token: (*2)MIN120
We already know about it but there is no easy solution to do what the author
of the .lst file was trying to do.
Installation
There are 4 versions of this release:
Note: the installer versions are normally added to the release one or two days after the initial release date.
If you have Windows machine, we recommend that you use the Windows installer. Dito with the Mac
installer if you use a Mac. Otherwise, grab one of the package and unzip it.
We also recommend you use a new directory with every release. Once
the package is unzipped, see docs\index.html for the full documentation.
Please make sure you read the doc. Also, make sure you have Java 1.4.x. Both 1.3.x and 1.5.x are known not
to work properly with PCGEN (or is it the other way around? :-).
