===2.2.0  Release Status===
The next stable FlightGear release is being assembled, with many bugs being fixed by various contributors, in different areas of the simulator - especially relating to JSBSim and resetting the simulator. Lots of work has been done to automate producing release builds (including installers) in a reliable, repeatable way, which will accelerate the release schedule in the future.
 
The remaining task is gluing the 'base package' tarball into the installers for Windows and Mac, so they form a complete, finished installer. To this end, a release branch now exists for the 'fgdata' repository, and the final pieces of automation are being worked upon. Even with most of the aircraft removed, the base package for 2.2.0 has grown somewhat, coming in at around 400MB compressed - mostly thanks to improved scenery models, aircraft and sounds.
