Unless there is something MAJOR, you will not be able to find out anything without wading through a bunch of commits. Most of them are to "current" and don't apply to the stable branches. If you are a "stable" user, I suspect that you want stability. I would just follow the mailing list and when you see something that looks important to you, do an update. Otherwise, either adopt the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" attitude or update a month after each 2.2.x release. Now, if you were still on 2.1.x, I would suggest that you use CTM to deliver the changes to you each week (if there are any). Richard Wackerbarth
