Saiku 2.2 is Out Now! Thanks Saiku Team!!! It is stable.

Hi Pentaho Folks,

Saiku 2.2 is Out Now! It is an amazing news!!! It is stable and we can use it at our production environment.

I still remember the day I talked with Paul and Tom, in 2009 in Barcelona, Spain, about PAT, that now is called Saiku. I was so excited that day that they were doing the PAT/Saiku project! I told them about our desires in Brazil to have a Community Tool to drag and drop an OLAP Cube.

Today we have it. They are working on this project probably more than 3 years, and it is incredible how the years just passed so fast. 

I know they are not alone anymore in this project, we have a lot of good people working on it.

Thanks again to all the Saiku Team, and keep up the good work!
