File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 2.2.1

Notes:
2.2.1 (9/28/2007):
        Richard: We have some new code in the pipeline, but it's not quite
        ready for a general release.  Instead, this is basically a bug fix
        release.

        Luke: Unfortunately the necessity of this bug fix release means
        some of the tickets that have been closed as part of the 2.2.1
        milestone are not actually fixed yet.  We have grabbed as many
        of the changes as we could while avoiding those that are as
        yet unstable though, and this should still be a marked
        improvement over 2.2.0.  We have spent a lot of time since the
        last release looking at the tickets that have been submitted
        and many of them have been closed.

        Stu: I haven't NEWS'd in a while. I haven't actually done much for
        too long also, maybe I'll find some time soon. This release is
        basically what 2.2.0 should have been - it actually compiles this
        time.

        http://developer.pidgin.im/query?status=closed&milestone=2.2.1
                NOTE: Due to the backporting that happened for the actual
                      release, it is possible bugs marked as fixed in 2.2.1
                      will not be fixed until 2.2.2.
