[OPEN-ILS-DEV] 2.2.1 coming next week

[Lebbeous Fogle-Weekley]

No harm in mentioning it, Tony.

Since no solution has been offered yet, a fix probably isn't going to 
make it into 2.2.1, but perhaps by the time of the next point release. 
You may wish to register your interested on the Launchpad bug.

Thanks!

Lebbeous
