It's now end of January. We (Martin and I) are currently quite busy, but
the release process should be started soon.

Here's the list of unresolved issues for this release:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-3590?jql=project%20%3D%20UIMA%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%20%222.2.0ruta%22%20AND%20component%20%3D%20ruta%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC

UIMA-3303 Add a way to alias types in RUTA (e.g. "IMPORT type AS alias")
Alexandre, do you know when you are able to resolve this issue? We could
maybe defer the missing piece to the next release.

UIMA-3495 Report ambiguous types in Ruta Editor
UIMA-3533 Support new import functionality in Workbench
I will try to implement both issues ASAP after UIMA-3303 is resolved

UIMA-3347 Ruta: Missing False Positives in "Annotation Test" view
This issue can be resolved. We should maybe set the default for
"useAllTypes" to true.

UIMA-3441 Ruta: Extend classpath for Annotation Test run
Martin, can you please update the documentation and resolve the issue?

UIMA-3309 Ruta: Filter file names in Query View
Martin, can you please update the documentation and resolve the issue?

UIMA-3469 Ruta: Annotation Browser View Extensions
Martin, can you please update the documentation and resolve the issue?

UIMA-3539 Prepare Ruta 2.2.0 release
No work left here, I think.


Best,

Peter
