+FUTURE
+==========
+The next release will probably be 2.2RC1.
+It should contains :
+* bugfixes.
+* some new code for a better LDAP handling (automatic creation of the borrower if it does not exist, getting informations from LDAP directory)
+* a barcode generator ! it's a new feature that should be commited by a new developper coming from south america (argentina). I've seen the code, it's clean & nice. Just a new dependencay, for PDF generating. Should be non mandatory for ppl that don't want to print barcodes.

+
+UPDATE from a 2.1.x version is NOT AVAILABLE. Don't install 2.1.2 on a 2.1.x test database. A lot of DB changes have been done since 2.1.x & could not be handled by the DB updater.
+
+============
+WHAT'S NEW
+============
+* Barcode printing : a barcode printing module has been added in the "parameters" module. It requires PDF::API2 Perl module. this requirement is NOT tested by the installer, and will be non-mandatory on official 2.2.0 release.
+* A lot of bugfixes. The list is too long to be done.
+
+This "snapshot" is a good basis for translation process. Feel free to subscribe to koha-translate and become involved in a localisation to your own language.
+
+===========
+WHAT'S NEXT
+===========
+This version is quite stable. The next one should be called "2.2.0RC1".
+It still requires some work in LDAP handling.
