2008.2 July Patch
| NOTE |
The July Patch - 2008.2p1 is made available as a full installer instead of as a patch to the previous install of 2008.2 If you downloaded recently, then you probably already have the latest build, and nothing is required. Users can verify the correct build number by consulting the ePublisher 2008 release schedule. Contact us at info@webworks.com if you encounter issues. |
