What's new in Rainmeter 2.2

Rainmeter 2.2 is fully backwards compatible with skins written for any version of Rainmeter, and you need only install it on top of your existing installation. No need to uninstall 2.1 or worry about overwriting changes you have made.
October 9, 2011

Added initial support for localization / language in the Rainmeter application. The application UI, context menus and log entries.
New languages will be added during the course of the beta cycle, as translations are provided and validated.

Fixed that "Edit Skin" in "Manage" caused a needless UAC elevation prompt in some cases.

WebParser: Fixed a RegExp failure if the data contained embedded NULL characters.

DynamicVariables are now supported on plugins for settings that are common to all measures, like MaxValue, Disabled, etc.

Removed support for using Rainmeter.dll as a LiteStep modual. This was required to support Localization project.

Fixed a bug in "Manage" that did not save the skin "Position" value correctly.

Reduced overall system resource usage.

Fixed a bug in "Manage" that did not allow negative numbers to be entered for "LoadOrder".

It's definitely using less resources, Rainmeter used to be average 15k for me, now its on 11k. Not a massive improvement but still.
