Well, it's that time again. Here's the 2.2.1 release. There are many more changes in here than I would have liked, and we still weren't able to close all the blockers (though we did squash quite a few tough ones), but we had to release someday. According to bugzilla, we closed at least a few dozen bugs between 2.2.0 and 2.2.1, but I suspect my bugzilla-fu isn't good enough to get the real list.
Thanks a ton to our community testing team, who was diligent about testing the pre-release and herding bugs to the slaughterhouse, and of course the development team and all who contributed fixes. Zhenyu will be handling the 2.3 release, which should include a few new features relative to 2.2 (we're hoping to reduce some of the mode setting flicker that occurs at startup, among other things), and volunteers are welcome to step forward if they'd like to see a 2.2.2 release with a few more bug fixes. And on the policy front, we've decided it's worth spending some time fixing kernel framebuffer related bugs, so if you see problems with this driver running on top of vesafb (intelfb should only be used if you *really* know what you're doing), please report them. We'll probably need register dumps and lots of testing to fix any issues, but we do want to hear about them.
