The Launchpad team is proud to announce the release of Launchpad 2.2.3!

Here are the highlights of what's new in this release:

 * Additional Personal Package Archives for yourself and your teams
 * Translation template imports directly from your project's Bazaar
   branches
 
Read on for more!


Additional Personal Package Archives
-------------------------------------
 
You can now create multiple PPAs both for yourself and your teams.

This is ideal if you're publishing different versions of the same 
application to different audiences. For example: you may have one 
archive for alpha versions and another that's used by your beta testers.

Visit your profile page -- or that of one of your teams -- to add more 
PPAs.

See Julian's blog post for further details:

Translation template imports from Bazaar branches
--------------------------------------------------

Host your project's code using Launchpad and Bazaar? Also translate your
software using Launchpad?

Launchpad can now automatically find and import your translation 
templates from your project's Bazaar branches.

Once you've activated automatic imports, Launchpad will monitor the 
official branch for each of your series and pull in any new template
versions that you commit.
