+2. Changes since version 2.1.3: 
 
-Changes and Improvements:
-   
- * Interface:  
-   * (macOS) Support for horizontal scroll on Magic Mouse / Trackpad and for
-     Trackpad pinch/expand zoom gestures.
-   * Pinned option on waveform makes waveform move and recording/playing head
-     stay still.
-   * Timer Record options to save/export/exit after recording.
-   * Scrub Ruler and optional Scrub Toolbar.
-   * New shortcuts ALT+RIGHT and ALT+LEFT (move to labels without editing). 
-   
- * Effects:
-   * Effects no longer grayed out when paused.
-   * New Distortion effect (replaces Leveller).
-   * SBSMS (higher quality but slower) option on Change Tempo / Change Pitch 
-     effects.
-   * New Rhythm Track generator (replaces Click Track). 
-   * New Generator for Sample Data Import.
-   * Nyquist effects now significantly faster.
-   
- * Other Changes:

-   * (Windows) DirectSound now records 24-bit samples. 
-   * (macOS) Audacity.app now has its resources inside it rather than in a
-     separate folder, so installation to /Applications/ is cleaner.
-   * (macOS) Audacity 2.1.3 provides partial support for Sierra. Details at 
-     http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Partial_Support_for_Mac_Sierra_in_2.1.3 .

+        * Menus Reorganized
+        * Extended menu bar provided
+        * New keyboard commands for working with clips 
+    * Help buttons ? in Preferences, Effects, Generators and Analyzers - and 
+      other places
+    * Non-Greying out of effects when no selection (and explanatory dialog 
+      with help button)
+    * Playback of MIDI (and Allegro) files imported into Note Tracks is 
+      now available.
+    * 'Center' option in Selection Toolbar
+    * Stem plots

- Over 60 bugs fixed, including five longstanding bugs.
- 
+Other Changes
+
+    * Append-record is now the default (use Shift + Record for old behavior, 
+	to record on a new track)
+    * The Esc key now cancels all click-and-drag actions. It also chooses among 
+      overlapping mouse click targets, which is especially useful in the Multi-Tool.
+    * Sync-Lock button removed (use menu item or keyboard shortcut instead)
+    * New preferences and preference pages
+    * Overhaul of much code:
+        * Overhaul of envelope handling code to deal with some anomalies
+        * Overhaul of exception handling for greater safety 
+   *  New Logo 
+
+Bug Fixes
+
+   * Major work on bug fixing. 198 bugs that were in 2.1.3 were fixed for 2.2.0.
+        * The most serious bug fixed this time round was bug 437 which was 
+          about what happens when Audacity is recording and runs out of storage.
+        * Most of the bugs fixed were more minor, such as bug 463 which was 
+          about a case in which the numbering on the timeline could display
+          incorrect times.
