where do you get V16?

> Scratch for the XO had a bug that would make it freeze after a few
> minutes of use. The workaround was to turn off Automatic Power
> Management, in My Settings.
> 
> The lead developer, John Maloney, reckons that this is fixed in
> Scratch 16, but I'd appreciate if some testing could be done.
