-  A new SCons checkpoint release, 2.1.0.final.0, is now available
+  A new SCons release, 2.2.0, is now available
   on the SCons download page:
 
           http://www.scons.org/download.php
 
-  Here is a summary of the changes since 2.0:
+  This release adds several new features and fixes many issues.
 
-  NEW FUNCTIONALITY
+  Here is a summary of the changes since 2.1:
 
-    - SCons can now automatically embed manifests in Windows executables
-      and DLLs, by setting WINDOWS_EMBED_MANIFEST in the environment.
+  NEW FUNCTIONALITY
 
-    - SCons now searches for site_scons dirs in several system-wide
-      and per-user locations, in addition to the SConstruct top dir.
-      This should enable much easier use of third-party (non-core)
-      Tools.
+    - New gettext toolset for internationalization
+    - Support for Visual Studio 11 (both using it and generating solution files)
+    - Support for Intel C/C++ compiler v12 on Linux and Mac
+    - LaTeX support for multibib, biblatex and biber
 
-  CHANGED/ENHANCED EXISTING FUNCTIONALITY
+  DEPRECATED FUNCTIONALITY
 
-    - scons --version now prints the path to the SCons package in use
+    - None
 
-    - List modifications to existing features, where the previous behavior
-      wouldn't actually be considered a bug
+  CHANGED/ENHANCED EXISTING FUNCTIONALITY
 
-    - Add initial support for VS/VC 2010
+    - 32-bit Visual Express C++ on 64-bit Windows now generates 32-bit code instead of giving errors
 
   FIXES
 
-    - Windows resource compiler (RC) scanner now handles DOS line endings
-    - Visual Studio project generation now works when CPPPATH contains Dir nodes
-    - Visual Studio projects are regenerated when CPPPATH or CPPDEFINES change
-      NOTE: this will cause all MSVS projects to be regenerated with this version.
-    - Passing MSVC_BATCH=False works now (treated same as 0)
-    - Long compile lines no longer break MSVC_BATCH mode
-    - RPATH is now in LINKCOM rather than LINKFLAGS, so resetting
-      LINKFLAGS doesn't kill RPATH
-    - Precompiled headers on Windows no longer break when used with
-      variant dirs containing spaces.
-    - Delete can now delete symlinks to directories and broken symlinks
-    - CPPDEFINES containing dictionaries now work better.
-    - A problem with using implicit-cache and removing dependencies on
-      disk is corrected.
-    - A problem with FS Entries which are dirs and have builders
-      is corrected.
-    - A problem with Install() of a dir when the dest dir exists
-      is corrected.
-    - Windows subprocess output should now be more reliable.
-    - The users guide and man page have various fixes.
-    - Appending to default $*FLAGS in a copied environment
-      now works properly.
-    - LaTeX scanner is improved for broken lines or embedded spaces.
-    - Windows UNC paths (\\SERVER\SHARE\dir) now work much better.
+    - Fixed FindSourceFiles to find final sources (leaf nodes).
+    - Make Windows not redefine builtin file as un-inheritable (#2857)
+    - Fix WINDOWS_INSERT_DEF on MinGW (Windows) (#2856)
+    - Fix LINKCOMSTR, SHLINKCOMSTR, and LDMODULECOMSTR on Windows (#2833).
+    - Make -s (silent mode) be silent about entering subdirs (#2976).
+    - Fix cloning of builders when cloning environment (#2821).
+    - Fixed the Taskmaster, curing spurious build failures in
+      multi-threaded runs (#2720).
+    - Fixed scons-doc.py to properly convert main XML files (#2812).
+
 
   IMPROVEMENTS
 
-    - ParseFlags now supports -std=c++0x and related CXXFLAGS
-    - ParseFlags now supports -dylib_file from pkgconfig
-    - New debugging options to print unlink/relinking of variant files
-      (--debug=duplicate) and preparation of targets (--debug=prepare).
-    - SCons can now generate MSVS 9.0 and 10.0 Projects and Solutions.
-    - MSVS Solution generation is improved.
-    - Fortran 03 is supported (preliminary)
-    - .sx files are now treated as assembly sources.
-    - site_scons/site_init.py is now treated as a proper module

-      on a different drive letter.
-    - DMD version 2 is supported (using the phobos2 library)
-    - New --debug=prepare option shows each target as it's prepared
-      for building; can help when you don't know why a target isn't
-      being built.
