A couple of unexpected bug have caused us to push this off a
few more days. The main reason is that there are a few changes
will really should be heavily tested.
Therefore I will be doing a 2.2.5 pre1 prerelease. This is not
necessarily a release candidate or even a beta release. We just
wanted to attract as many testers as possible. If all goes well,
we are working towards a official 2.2.5 release sometime next week.
Look for the prelease RPM and tarball in the next day or so.
The main things we are trying to straightened out are
* some missing documentation,
* a few linux kernel issues,
* various ldap patches,
* and possible patch to the recycle bin
A small reminder that this is planned to be the last 2.2.x release.
The 2.2.x branch has been a fun trip, but 3.0 awaits. :-)
Keep your fingers crossed.
cheers, jerry
