I also wrote a highlights section in #1917 , if you want you can incorporate some of it.

After this one change, I think we are good to go -- all please speak up... hoping we can deploy tomorrow.

I updated the date to the 9th... as it was approved twice I am merging.

@EwoutH that is a phenomenal write up! Just to get this out and as the changes are already approved, I will use that for the email to the community

@EwoutH are u trying to get auto release working? I noticed the "ignore" tag. Let me know or I am planning on release tonight manually.

[EwoutH]

Tom already released 2.2.0! I'm just doing some deferred maintenance.

I reordered and added the extended highlights section in the 2.2.0 release notes by the way.
