  We have many releases for you, today!
  
  Bugzilla 2.18.6 and 2.20.3 are security-fix releases for our older
branches.

  Bugzilla 2.22.1 is our first bugfix release in the 2.22 series,
and contains many useful fixes that improve the experience of using
Bugzilla.

  Finally, we are releasing an unstable development snapshot, Bugzilla
2.23.3. This snapshot has both custom fields and mod_perl support,
but has not been tested as thoroughly as our other releases. The 2.23
series will eventually culminate in Bugzilla 3.0.

  Users of the 2.18.x series should note that 2.18.x will reach
End Of Life when Bugzilla 3.0 is released. There are more details
in our Status Update.

  We hope you enjoy all our new releases!

About Bugzilla
--------------
Bugzilla is a "Defect Tracking System" or "Bug-Tracking System."
Defect Tracking Systems allow individual or groups of developers
to keep track of outstanding bugs in their product effectively.
Most commercial defect-tracking software vendors charge enormous
licensing fees. Despite being "free", Bugzilla has many features
its expensive counterparts lack. Consequently, Bugzilla has quickly
become a favorite of hundreds of organizations across the globe, and
is widely regarded as one of the top defect-tracking systems available.
