Dear all,
It took me a little bit more time to get the Release Cadidate 0 together and published, but it is now online at https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=72096&package_id=172443 (or GeoNetwork - Geographic Metadata Catalog - Browse /GeoNetwork_opensource at SourceForge.net )
The code for this release has been put on a branch 2.2.x and we will only commit small improvements and fixes to that branch as they come up.
This is NOT a stable version and should not be used in production environments. Further releases are planned every two weeks. These are RC1, RC2 and the Final release.
Please report problems by submitting a ticket at http://trac.osgeo.org/geonetwork/newticket
On behalf of all the GeoNetwork developers, enjoy!
Jeroen
