Hello, airport CEO!
0.22.2 has now been released with a new round of important bug fixes and improvements. 0.22.2 has been tested for a few days on the Experimental Branch, which we set live over the weekend. It has therefore received a lot more testing than the previous patches which should mitigate the most serious stability concerns for new deployments which we've experienced in the past. The experimental branch will for now and over the coming week mainly feature bug fixes and some slight new content. Several of you have requested minor patch notes for each minor update we do to the experimental branch and we're working on a solution to do this in a way that doesn't spam you (any tips or ideas are welcome!). To get more information on how the experimental branch works and when we do updates, check out this forum thread.
There will be no development blog this Monday, instead we have focused on development and will write a better one for next Monday which will focus on the road ahead and the future of ACEO as we move away from the most critical state of bug fixing. In short, this week we will continue to monitor the bug reports and implement fixes, do some important work on a number of UI panels that currently lack information or that is displayed in a bad way and look into the last steps of making the Jira public.
Per usual we are available for any questions you have throughout the days on the normal channels! Thank you and see you during the week! :)
