Re-reading the thread, it seems what I said about 2.2.1 never happening was incorrect. My impression is still that nobody has plans to drive a 2.2.1 release on any particular timeline.
The changes that are now in 2.3 have been moved out of the branch-2.2.1. I suppose the idea is that changes slated for 2.2.1 should be committed both to branch-2.2 and branch-2.2.1. -Sandy On Fri, Jan 3, 2014 at 4:57 PM, Raymie Stata <rst...@altiscale.com> wrote: > Yes, that thread is part of what's confusing me.
