KEEP CALM!! The source has been released! I debated even putting this up here but it’s part of the cool thing about open source software. You get the source. So in this case QGIS 2.2 is done and the package guys are working away providing binaries for your favorite Operating System. If you so desire – compile it yourself and get busy.
From the email bag (Jurgen E Fischer’s email)
QGIS is a user friendly Open Source Geographic Information System that runs on Linux, Unix, Mac OSX, and Windows. We are very pleased to announce the release of QGIS 2.2 'Valmiera'. The emphasis on this release has been very much on polish and performance - we have added many new features, tweaks and enhancements to make the user interface more consistent and professional looking (and hopefully easier to use). The composer (used for creating print ready maps) has had a lot of work done to it to make it a more viable platform for creating great cartographic outputs. This is first release following our new four month release schedule that is meant to make new features and bugfixes available quicker and the development and new releases more predictable. In order to streamline the release process, we only release the source code today. The binaries will be created in close succession by the individual package maintainers. The source code is and the binaries soon will be available via the large download link on our home page: http://qgis.org If there is not yet a binary package for your platform on the above page, please check back regularly as packagers push out their work and the download page will reflect the new packages. Good things are happening the FOSS4G Space
