We are pleased to announce that ExpressionEngine 2.2 is now available for download. This is a major release and brings improvements on a number of fronts: a new file module (and related enhancements), speed/code optimization, a developer friendly authorization library, 180+ bug fixes, CP user experience tweaks, and improved documentation. This is a recommended upgrade for all ExpressionEngine installations. See the changelog for a full list of changes. If you’re updating from the...
Many of you wanted us to let you know if we are still on target to release ExpressionEngine 2.2 on June 22nd. The answer is yes. We will be releasing 2.2 this Wednesday.
As a teaser, ExpressionEngine 2.2 has a completely rewritten File Manager. The File Manager now has more functionality as part of that rewrite. The dev team continued efforts to tune ExpressionEngine and improve performance. Additionally, the dev team has added new Config Overrides that were requested and continued...

Add-Ons Developer allows you to quickly access your site templates, custom fields, channels, categories, member groups, upload preferences and general configuration.

The release addressed a critical bug where each member’s settings for ‘Enable Avatar’ and ‘Enable Signatures’ were reset to ‘No’ when preferences were updated in the control panel’s General Configuration page. The release also addresses a security issue where an SQL injection was at least theoretically possible. There are no known cases of a successful exploit and such an attack could only be executed by...
The EE 2.1.5 Beta has been released. This will be the final beta version before all functionality is rolled into ExpressionEngine 2.2 in June, which will become the new stable version and mark the beginning of our brand new release schedule, quality assurance guidelines (aka, how bugs are handled in a way you can count on), along with a host of other changes here at EllisLab that are geared to make EE the rock solid choice you need it be. We’ve been listening carefully these past five...
We wanted to give you a heads up that we updated the Twitter Timeline plugin to address a security issue. We consider this one critical as it can result in unexpected information disclosure. Both ExpressionEngine 1 and 2 versions were affected. All users are encouraged to update to the latest version (tell your friends).
To update, simply download the appropriate version and replace the existing file in the plugin folder.
