Re: [Denemo-devel] Release 0.8.16 - Gub Status

[Nils Gey]

My memory was not wrong! On sunday it still worked (for me)

On Sunday the 21th I gubbed and installed a version, still labeled 0.8.15 and 
installed it on my laptop which had a fresh Windows 7 version on it. 
Print Preview / PDF Generation works there.

It can be downloaded here: http://www.nilsgey.de/denemo-0.8.15-20100321.exe
