 Version 2.2 (Oct 13, 2015)
 ----------------------------
 
-Include all fixes in branch 2.1 indicated in \ref CHANGES-2-1 .
+Version 2.2 contains several improvements with respect to 2.1. Users currently working with 2.1
+should have a look at the section "Changes leading to incompatible behavior" below and
+might need tiny adjustments in their input files. In 2.2 we restored more features of 1.3
+that were missing in 2.1, so users still working with 1.3 could opt for an upgrade.
+A tutorial explaining how to move from PLUMED 1 to PLUMED 2 is available (see \ref moving).
+
+Below you find a list of all the changes with respect to version 2.1.
+Notice that version 2.2 includes already all the fixes in branch 2.1 up to 2.1.4 indicated in \ref CHANGES-2-1 .
