 gmpy2 adds support for correctly rounded multiple-precision real arithmetic
 (using the MPFR library) and complex arithmetic (using the MPC library).
 
-Version 2.1.x Status
---------------------
+Version 2.2
+-----------
 
-gmpy2 2.1 was extensively refactored. Some of the significant changes are:
+gmpy2 2.2.0 is now available with support for Python 3.7 to 3.13.
 
-* Support for thread-safe contexts and context methods
-* Interoperability with Cython extensions
-* mpz and mpq operation can release the GIL
-
-  * The current implementation is experimental
-
-* Improved argument processing
-
-The gmpy2 2.1 series will be the last to offer compatibility with Python 2.7.
-Release 2.1.3 is the last planned release of the 2.1 series.
-
-Note: Versions 2.1.4 and 2.1.5 were released to address Apple Silicon wheel
-build issues. There are no code changes.
-
-Release 2.1.5 is the last planned release of the 2.1 series.
-
-
-Version 2.2 Plans
------------------
-
-Version 2.2 will drop support for Python 2.7 and older Python 3.x versions.
-
-The primary development focus will be on functions that operate on lists and
-release the GIL. See powmod_base_list and powmod_exp_list as examples.
+* Support for thread-safe contexts and context methods has been improved.
+* Interoperability with Cython extensions has been updated.
+* Extensive improvements have been made to the build and testing processes.
+* Many bug fixes.
+* Extensive documentation cleanup.
