The release page only links to 2.2.0:

http://freedesktop.org/software/fontconfig

In my discussions with Keith, he hasn't mentioned that 2.2.0 wasn't the 
latest "stable" version.  He has mentioned the 2.3.0 pre-releases better 
known as 2.2.9x... but I think he said to stick with 2.2.0 because it 
was the latest stable release.  I could be wrong though.

In any case, it will be much easier to release a newer version of 
fontconfig after one is out the door.  There is a lot of legwork in 
getting this done the first time.
