MultilingualPress 2.2.0 “Michael Ende”

Today, we (finally) released version 2.2 of MultilingualPress. The release includes a lot of improvements and great new features. For a full list of all changes, please refer to the changelog. Thank you very much for all your contributions.

Since the story of MultilingualPress 2.2 is somewhat like the Neverending Story, it was pretty obvious to dedicate this version to Michael Ende.
