With the goal of fast-tracking a major upgrade, we've made v2.2.0alpha1 available. This upgrade is an incremental upgrade to v2.1.1 (or earlier). The big difference is that this version is stripped of all ties to 'old school' 1.0/0.9x code and makes a substantial change to the way 'containers' are addressed. In all likelihood, this will become the next release (post v2.1.1), and we expect a very short test/release cycle.

If you've been updating your themes and custom modules in accordance with all the previous updates, this will be a simple update like the others. However, if you still have some patched old school stuff (your theme makes calls to exponent_theme_xxx or has custom old school module views), you may have some tweaking to do first. What this means for the site admin is:

• When you install this software version, it'll seem as if the site has been wiped because all the modules and content will disappear UNTIL YOU RUN AN UPGRADE (as recommended)
• All of the old school modules will be upgraded and deleted (calendarmodule, simplepollmodule, navigationmodule, containermodule, formmodule/formbuilder, etc...)...all those files in the /framework/modules-1 folder
• Any old school module custom views MUST be upgraded/edited manually. See the post in the 2.0 Installation forum for details.
