-<h2>Release Notes for 2.2 RC 1</h2>
-<p><i>Released on 26 November 2023</i></p>
+<h2>Release Notes for 2.2</h2>
+<p><i>Released on 17 December 2023</i></p>

-<p>This is a release candidate of the next release version, and is intended for testing purposes.
-Please be careful when using this version on live writing projects, and make sure you take frequent
-backups.</p>
-<p>Please check the changelog for an overview of changes. The full release notes will be added to
-the final release.</p>
+<p>This release comes with a number of new features. These are some highlights.</p>
+<p>In addition to the common Markdown style formatting for bold, italic and strike through, a set
+of new shortcodes have been added. The shortcodes are far more flexible than the Markdown style
+syntax, and can be used for more complex formatting cases. Like when you need to add multiple,
+overlapping formats, or add emphasis to just a part of a word. The shortcodes also allow for
+underline, subscript and superscript, which the Markdown syntax does not. The new formats are
+available in the "Format" menu, and in a new toolbar in the editor that can be enabled by clicking
+the three dots in the top–left corner. The shortcode format was chosen because it can later be
+extended to include other requested features as well. Please have a look at the documentation for
+more details about the new shortcodes.</p>
+<p>The Tags and References system has been improved. The tags themselves are no longer case
+sensitive when you use them in references, but they are still displayed as you typed them in the
+tag definition when they are displayed in the user interface. Starting to type the '@' symbol in
+the text editor, on a new line, will now open an auto-completer menu which will display available
+options. It may not display all of your tags if you have a lot of them, but starting to type more
+characters will filter the list down further.</p>
+<p>You can now automatically create a note file for a new tag that you have added to a reference
+list in a document, but is not yet defined in a project note. So, for instance, if you come up with
+a new character while writing, and add a new tag to your '@char' references, you can right-click
+the new tag and create a new note for that entry directly. In addition, it is now also possible to
+right-click a heading in an open document and set the item label in the project tree to match the
+heading.</p>
+<p>In addition to the changes in the editor, the "References" panel below the document viewer has
+also been completely redesigned. It now shows all the references to the document you are viewing as
+a list, with a lot more details than before. In addition, tabs in the panel will appear to show all
+the tags you have defined in your notes, sorted as one tab per category. Like for instance
+Characters, Locations, Objects, etc. You can also give each note a short description comment on the
+same format as the summary comments for chapters and scenes. The short description comment can be
+added from the "Insert" menu under "Special Comments".</p>
+<p>The last major change in this release is the new multi-select feature in the project tree. You
+can now select multiple documents and folders using the mouse while pressing 'Ctrl' or 'Shift'. By
+right-clicking the selected items, you can perform a limited set of operations on all of them, like
+changing active status, and the status or importance labels. You can also drag and drop multiple
+items under the condition that all the selected items are in the same folder, at the same level.
+This restriction is in place due to limitations in the framework novelWriter is based on. But this
+should help in cases where multiple documents need to be moved in and out of folders or between
+folders. Note that adding the multi-select feature meant that the undo feature of the project tree
+had to be removed. It may be added back later.</p>
