A new version of Helioviewer.org has been released, including a few new features to make it easier to share videos and links.

RELEASE NOTES:

Helioviewer.org 2.2.2 is an incremental release. This release is focused on sharing. Buttons have been added below movies to make it easier to share the movie on Facebook, Twitter, etc and optional link-shortening has been included for both Helioviewer.org and movie URLs using bit.ly. Another new feature is a visual glossary. While still a work in progress, the glossary aims to help make it easier to find out what the different terms used on Helioviewer.org, and also help determine what a partcular feature or event is.

Let us know what you think, or if you have any suggestions. Feedback is always welcome.
