The first release of 2022 is here. It took some time, but waiting is definitely worth it here!

Strings needing actionwere renamedUnfinished stringsto reflect better all the states included.- New merge style is available:
Merge without fast-forward. A way to see every Weblate change in the repository. - We added links to the docs to alerts. You will never be guessing alone on how to fix the alert anymore.
- New add-on for prefilling translation with source strings.
- You can search for resolved comments.
Then some handy improvements!

And fixes!
