I'm expecting to release Kawa 2.2 very soon (in a few days).
Any extra testing or documentation suggestions would be welcome.
As an alternative to building the sources from Subversion, you can grab
the binary snapshot from:
   ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/kawa/kawa-latest.zip
which is currently a link to kawa-2.1.9-20161014.zip.

The zip file includes the documentation in
kawa-VERSION/doc/kawa-manual.epub .  See README-epub in
the same directory for how to read this epub.

See specifically the "news" page.  Highlights include:
* Improved arrays (including multi-dimensional array).
* REPL improvements.
* A new "composable pictures" library.  (Try it - it's fun.)

I have not updated the version number (it is still 2.1.9).
Kawa 2.2 will probably be the last release in the 2.x series:
The 3.x series (in the "invoke" branch) will include pattern
matching and a new "apply" implementation.
