GMGen 3.3pre3 Released

GMGen 3.3Pre3 has been released.

Project home: http://gmgen.sourceforge.net/

GMGen is a Java-based GM's tool that works on multiple platforms
(Windows, Linux, etc). GMGen is a tool for GMs designed to ease
the running of D20 games. Intended for use with PCGen, it allows
GMs work with PCGen sources and characters to do a variety of tasks.

To install GMGen, unzip gmgen-3.3pre2.zip into it's own directory.
You can run GMGen by executing the gmgen.bat, gmgen.sh, or
gmgen.jar files (for systems that support jar execution). On
launch GMGen will ask you for the location of your PCGen
installation. GMGen 3.3pre2 requires PCGen 5.1.8 or later to work.

This release focused on getting Experience and the Character tracker up
and running. There have also been multiple fixes to the source screen.
We did not get the preferences dialog in this time.

Mac OS X users - GMGen has now been tested on Mac OS X, and it functions
for most people. There seems to be a bug on some boxes that makes gmgen
need to have a pcgen directory with spaces in it's name. If you experience
this bug, please let us know, and give us your platform information
(java version, etc).

GMGen 3.3pre4 will be focusing on the addition of a preferences
panel that will be usable by the plugins, as well as attempting to
get the Treasure plugin up to beta quality. 3.3pre4 should be the
last release before 3.3 release candidates. Then we start on 3.4!
