[Xerte] Re: What version of desktop is publicly available?

Today's Xerte desktop release includes built in support for individual Page
Templates,  by selecting

Pages / Create a New Page Project.

This means the "Page Wizards" add in is now officially "retired" as you can
now have both the full editor environment and all the pre-built pages "out
of the box".

I have wanted to achieve this for a long time and I would like to
personally express my thanks to everyone who has helped to make this happen.

Kind regards

Johnathan
