The changes between 2.1.1 and 2.2 are superficial.  I've noticed that
some people use [[target method1] method2] sort of expressions in
graph setup things, and there are some cases where it has to be broken
out into [target method1], [target method2].  Swarm 2.2 puts more
emphasis on making Java fast, at the cost of some minor inconveniences
to Objective C users.  I upgraded a dozen apps in a couple hours or so.
Once updated for 2.2, they'll work fine with 2.1.1.
