+We're very close to releasing OpenLP 2.2 now. We've made a few
+additional bug fixes and have decided to release another Release
+Candidate. If we don't find any major bugs in this version, the next
+release will be 2.2.
+
+These are the bugs we fixed in this release:
+
+-  #1473632: crash on every file dialog
+-  #1420356: sending presentation live with libreoffice initially is
+   minimized to taskbar
+-  #1463703: When diplaying a presentation from a loaded service the
+   slidecontroller is blank
+-  #1465390: Traceback when going from blanked presentation to video
+-  #1201293: Unexpected Power Point dialogues triggers exception
+-  #1464421: Connection errors in SongSelect are not handled
+-  #1450596: Failure to verify SSL cert in SongSelect importer
+
+I'd like to say a special thank you to Tomas G who has been fixing bugs
+and pushing this release, and to Jonathan S for doing a lot of work on
+PyInstaller and OpenLP to make OpenLP sail on Mac OS X.
+
+A Windows build will be uploaded during the course of the week.

+    | For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter
+    under heaven:
+    |   a time to be born, and a time to die;
+    | a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
+    |   a time to kill, and a time to heal;
+    | a time to break down, and a time to build up;
+    |   a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
+    | a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
+    |   a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones
+    together;
+    | a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
+    |   a time to seek, and a time to lose;
+    | a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
+    |   a time to tear, and a time to sew;
+    | a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
+    |   a time to love, and a time to hate;
+    | a time for war, and a time for peace.

+With my grandmother's passing recently, and reading the Bible to my kids
+at night, these verses have been coming up a lot recently. I think it is
+important for us to always be aware of the timeousness of what we're
+doing. Make the best use of your time here on earth, so that you can
+reap the rewards of your eathly work in Heaven.
