... as well as a lot of other improvements and bug fixes. The complete list can be found on Github and in the history text file located in the docs directory of this release.

Note: A bug was found in the installer and Geeklog v2.2.0 that causes an error on servers with PHP v5.3 installed. Therefore for Geeklog v2.2.0 you should consider the minimum PHP version to be v5.5 (note added July 19, 2018)

Note: Make sure your 3rd party Geeklog plugins are updated to the latest version as they are required to use the function COM_createHTMLDocument. This replaces the functions COM_siteHeader and COM_siteFooter. If you are unsure if a plugin supports Geeklog v2.2.0 then either disable it before the Geeklog Upgrade, or uninstall the plugin.
