Subject: [Qgis-user] Announcing the release of QGIS 2.2<br>
To: <a href="mailto:qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org">qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org</a>, <a href="mailto:qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org">qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org</a><br>
<br>
<br>
QGIS is a user friendly Open Source Geographic Information System<br>
that runs on Linux, Unix, Mac OSX, and Windows.<br>
<br>
We are very pleased to announce the release of QGIS 2.2 'Valmiera'. The<br>
emphasis on this release has been very much on polish and performance - we have<br>
added many new features, tweaks and enhancements to make the user interface<br>
more consistent and professional looking (and hopefully easier to use). The<br>
composer (used for creating print ready maps) has had a lot of work done to it<br>
to make it a more viable platform for creating great cartographic outputs.<br>
<br>
This is first release following our new four month release schedule that is<br>
meant to make new features and bugfixes available quicker and the development<br>
and new releases more predictable.<br>
<br>
In order to streamline the release process, we only release the source code<br>
today. The binaries will be created in close succession by the individual<br>
package maintainers. The source code is and the binaries soon will be<br>
available via the large download link on our home page: <a href="http://qgis.org" target="_blank">http://qgis.org</a><br>
<br>
If there is not yet a binary package for your platform on the above page,<br>
please check back regularly as packagers push out their work and the<br>
download page will reflect the new packages.<br>
<br>
<br>
A word of thanks to our contributors, donors and sponsors<br>

QGIS is a largely volunteer driven project, and is the work of a dedicated team<br>

Many companies and organizations contribute back their improvements to QGIS and<br>
fund development of new features when they use it as their platform, and we are<br>
grateful for this and encourage others to do the same! We would also like to<br>
