Dear Community Members,

+++++++++++++++++++++++++ Release Note ++++++++++++++++++++++++

We are proud to announce that SIRIOS 2.2.0 beta2 has been
released today.

This is a beta release of SIRIOS 2.2. which is not recommended
to use for productive operation. Beta releases are published 
for test purposes only.

SIRIOS is a well proven solution based on OTRS that has 
been designed to efficiently handle IT security incidents. 
The software was designed focussing on CERTs and their specific
requirements but might also be used in any environment where 
organizational (IT-) security incidents need to be managed.

SIRIOS 2.2. requires a pre-installation of OTRS 2.3.
