Since the release of v2.2 there where a some important bug fixes and other small additions to the API which are not part of the new features planned for v2.3. So all these are packaged in this minor release.

Almost 2 months after the previous minor release, the new Fire v2.2 package is available for download. Most of the changes are bug-fixes but there are also a couple of important new features.

The most important addition to this release is the landscape modes and the new way of handling softkeys.
