We here at Metro Publisher have lately been working feverishly towards some new and exciting features that we will be releasing in various stages over the next several months. As a result, the newest release will be fast and furious. However, this release includes only a few features that you will notice right away. But, under the hood, there are many important changes that will pave the way for things to come.
So, beginning next week, the development team will be gradually upgrading all clients to the v2.13 release of Metro Publisher.
