[Qgis-developer] Announcing the release of QGIS 2.2

[Jonathan Moules]

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.

Cheers,
Jonathan
