R1.8

MWOSD Release 1.8

NOTE: New fonts will need to be installed from GUI app
NOTE: 1.8 PC client GUI is required

NOTE: Previous 1.7 chrome GUI users will need to transition to PC client. A chrome GUI upgrade is being slowly rolled out to users to enable transition to R1.8 . This is at no cost, however If you really cannot wait, the 1.8 PC app can be re-purchased from link on www.mwosd.com
