+<b>Announcement:</b> GnuCash 2.2.1 Release

+
+<h2>GnuCash 2.2.1 released</h2>
+
+<p>The GnuCash development team proudly announces GnuCash 2.2.1, the first bug fix release in a series of stable releases of the GnuCash Open Source Accounting Software. GnuCash is available on Microsoft Windows since the release of 2.2.0, and it also runs on GNU/Linux, *BSD, Solaris and Mac OSX.
+</p>
+<h4>Getting GnuCash</h4>
+<p>GnuCash 2.2.1 can be downloaded from gnucash.org or sourceforge.net. It is available as source code. For the Microsoft Windows operating system there is a self-installing setup program which includes all necessary additional libraries.</p>
+<p>To install GnuCash on other platforms, users will need Gnome 2, guile, and slib. Neither the currently used swig nor the previously used g-wrap packages are needed anymore when compiling from tarball or when installing a binary.</p>
