ExpressionEngine 2.2 Now Available.

A few moments ago, EllisLab released ExpressionEngine 2.2, the first major point release since EE 2.1 was made public last July.

Here’s a summary:

This is a major release and brings improvements on a number of fronts: a new file module (and related enhancements), speed/code optimization, a developer friendly authorization library, 180+ bug fixes, CP user experience tweaks, and improved documentation. This is a recommended upgrade for all ExpressionEngine installations.

It also includes the revamped File Manager and the new File Module, which allows you to display information in your template about the files you uploaded into your File Upload Directories.

You can read the entire change log if you want an itemized, detailed view of what has changed, been added or fixed.

All in all this isn’t a huge feature release but an important first step in making EE2 an even better product.
