The GNOME Project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
the GNOME 2.2.1 Desktop and Developer Platform!

The 2.2.x series is devoted to bugfixes, translations, and general
polish of our major 2.2 stable release. We strongly recommend upgrading

since the last release. 

You'll find plenty of information about GNOME 2.2 in our extensive
