FieldtypeRepeater was added after 2.2 was initially released. The current version number should read 2.2.0.1. It is true that all you need to do is replace your /wire/ directory with the new one. But rename or backup up the old one, and backup your DB to be safe. It is also recommended that you replace your /index.php and /.htaccess files with the new ones, though I don't think that will be necessary for going from 2.2.0 to 2.2.0.1. After you replace your /wire/ dir, the first pageview will produce an error. Just hit reload in your browser and then it should be back.

Thanks a lot. Now I got it.

Only as a short summary - is there still potential of errors using the repeater?

You should not:
Clone a template, that uses repeater fields?
Does anything else work fine?

@jan Although it's only a tiny piece of evidence I am finding my use of a Repeater in a site I am developing perfectly reliable/stable.

I had missed the point about avoiding cloning, thanks for pointing that out — as Ryan notes this will be worked on and I am confident ironed out as part of getting Repeating Fields out of beta.
