Vincent Massol 8.2 18 This releases improves the new client-side PDF Export feature (still experimental but getting closer to being production ready) by offering the ability to configure it in the Admin UI and by enhancing the default template. It also fixes bugs and especially several security bugs, making it a recommended upgrade.
