Hi,
I am happy to announce that Geppetto 2.2.0 has been released and is
available both as ready to run download, and as an update from within
Geppetto.

If you do not already have Geppetto installed - download it here
https://github.com/cloudsmith/geppetto/downloads


In release 2.2.0
===============
* It is now possible to answer "where is this element declared?", and
   "what is using this element?" and perform navigation. This is a big
   help when refactoring names of variables.

* Improved code completion.
   - More places now completed.
   - Improvements to existing types of proposals.
   - There was a general problem with code completion being confused
     over location in grammar leading to code completion giving
     irrelevant proposals.

* Improved folding of comments.
   They worked in a really screwy way since the wrong lexer was used.

* Improved validation.
   - Additional stylistic and potential problems now controlled via
     preferences. Set to ignore/warning/error.

* A wizard that creates an empty Modulefile has been added.
   Although not hard to create by hand, if you don''t know what an empty
   Modulefile should contain it was kind of hard.

* General improvements:
   - 35 Geppetto issues fixed (enhancements and problems) since
     the previous maintenance version

* Updated Git support to and EGit 1.3
   - Support for git submodules
   - Branch project tracking
   - 27 bugs and 4 enhancements
   - Details at http://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/New_and_Noteworthy/1.3

* Based on Eclipse Indigo service release 2
   - Details found here:
