Today, we have released the second Beta of PDFCreator 0.8.
Normally this should have been the 0.8 final, but as we have added some new features, including the new security features from Ghostscript 8.14 we thought that it would make sense to have a second beta.
But that won't be for a long time. In one week we will fix all upcoming bugs and then release the final version.
To check out what is new have a look here:

With the Version 0.3 there other langauges can be brought to PDFCreator. If you speak something else than german or english and want to spend a little time, then you can easily create a language file in your language (and hopefully send it to me ;-) )
