Creation of the SVN 2.2 fixes branch. (Done 15 Jun 2021)

This is the start of the stabilization process before a new Lazarus release.

Release of 2.2.0 RC 1 (Done 12 Jul 2021)

This will be the first Release Candidate. We would like to urge all users to test this version. The testing period is scheduled to last 2 weeks.

Release of 2.2.0 RC 2 (Done 4 Nov 2021)

The testing period is scheduled to last 2 weeks.

Release of 2.2.0 RC 3 (No RC 3 was released)

The testing period is scheduled to last 2 weeks.

Release of Lazarus 2.2 (Done 5 Jan 2022)

Users can download the new stable version.

Tests

Menu item exists
Clear pcp directory and start IDE, a new project application with a form should be visible
Double click on form - a FormCreate event should be created
Check View / IDE internals / What needs building - no package should need building, only the project
Restart the IDE - there should be no warning about upgrading
Install the package cody, after restart the component palette should show the component TCodyTreeView
Run Unit-Tests from menu "Tools"--> "Example Projects". Choose project "runtestsgui.lpi" and run it. It will do about 390 unittests.
