Release announcement

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
 * Official bug tags for your project
 
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.

Official project bug tags
--------------------------

Bug tags are a great way to easily group bug reports that share similar
properties. You might mark user interface bugs with a "ui" tag, for 
example.

Anyone can add a bug tag to a report but now you can also tell Launchpad
which tags you use officially within your project. 

To get going, visit your project's bugs page then click 
"Edit official tags".


Also new in this release
------------------------

There's more to Launchpad 2.2.3, including:

 * teams can now have +junk branches
 * releases are now directly linked to milestones -- see Curtis' blog
   post for more: http://blog.launchpad.net/?p=627
 * uploading packages to Launchpad, whether directly for Ubuntu or to a 
   PPA, now earns you karma!
