PCGen 5.8 Released 16
HunterD writes "PCGen, the premier Open Source D20 RPG character generation application has released it's new 5.8 version. The 5.8 release of PCGen comes from over a year of hard work adding new features such as the ability to preview characters, a new plugin system, and the ability to use pcgen to run games over the internet via the new networking plugin.

Usability has increased dramatically, as countless bugs have been fixed to increase stability and application speed."

I think that Code Monkey Publishing could boost their sales by making such information easier to find on the website.
