+ Some notable changes in this release are listed below.</p>
+<ul>
+<li><img alt="fix" title="fix" src="http://pcgen.sourceforge.net/autobuilds/images/fix.gif"> [5.15.4] Resources Tab - Duplicated Races. Fixes <a href="http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=2148763">2148763</a> (<a href="http://pcgen.sourceforge.net/autobuilds/team-list.html#jdempsey">jdempsey</a>)</li>

+<p><i>James Dempsey</i> for the PCGEN Team -- 12 October, 2008.</p>
+
+
+ <h2><a name="Chars">Character Changes</a></h2>
+
+ <p>Characters from the 5.14 series of PCGen should load seamlessly in 5.15.5.
+ </p>
+
+ <h2><a name="GMGenIssue">GMGen Known Issue</a></h2>
+
+ <p>There is a known issue with GMGen when used on a Macintosh. In the Initiative
+ Tab when running a combat when you select any character other than the one whose
+ turn it is and click the Damage or Heal buttons the character whose turn it
+ is becomes selected and the damage is applied to him instead of the character
+ which had been selected.</p>
+ <p>A solution has not yet been found but fortunately there is a simple work-around.
+ The problem will only manifest when using the System Look and Feel, you can
+ change the Look and Feel by going to Preferences/Appearance/Look and Feel and
+ changing it to Java before activating GMGen and then it will work as it should.</p>
+
+ <h2><a name="Installation">Installation</a></h2>
