We released yesterday the 2.2-RC build. If no last minute problem is detected, that's almost the 2.2 release we got there.

There is no big change between this and the last beta, just small fixes and tweaking and ... a big refining of the template engine. Although fast and tidy, the one found in the beta version proved to put too big a burden on the PCRE stack of old (and Windows) machines. The new one, while not as quick and small, is still lighter than its 2.1 counterpart, runs without a glitch on smaller computers, and provides new internal structures that will soon allow the plugins to redefine tags on the go.

And while we talk about plugins, note that most old plugins work as well as ever on a 2.2. We even have reopen our sister site Dotaddict.org (still only in French for the time being, sorry) to contributors last week-end and since then, it's more than fifty plugins that wait there for a nice home, most of them wishing to find a 2.2.

You can download the 2.2 RC here. The final relase's date will depend of how that version works, but it should not be long, of course.
