Re: [Qgis-developer] Announcing the release of QGIS 2.2
Excellent work, thanks guys. Just a thought, but as part of the release process (I'm guessing there's a big list of things to do somewhere) I'd suggest updating the Affected Version on redmine to whatever the newest version is. There's no 2.2.0 on there currently.
