[QUOTE="Mynex, post: 561084, member: 2136"] Well the 'stable' release you are talking about is actually a 'production release. The major number releases (ala 4.0.0) is actually a stable release.... But there are plans in the works for a new 'stable/production' release, it's just going to take a bit longer since we're adding/changing some critical code/data structure to support the non standard D20 rules (i.e. D20Modern and the like)... We're also hammering the heck out of the output sheets, adding new functionality to them and making them more robust... I would say give us about another 6-8 weeks and we should be ready for the next _major_ stable/production release... And as always, we're perfectly willing to listen to all complaints/suggestions about improving things... The character breakage thing... a lot of people comment on that, and even those of us that work on PCGen have those issues (trust me, my players get REALLY pissy sometimes. :p)... the problem is we're trying to get the character files to save all the pertinent information to be able to 'down level' correctly, so it's been in a really chaotic state of flux and really hard to nail down *frustrated* But I have a few ideas on that I need to go over with some of the code monkeys to see if we can at least get some type of converter in place.... not sure how well that will work since there's been _drastic_ changes in the way that the character files are stored/handled... but I'll try!
