+Version 2.2.0
+
+* A new feature to track particles in the flow (code donated by Allen McNamara
+  and Shijie Zhong).
+
+* A new feature to use the tracers to compute composition field and compute
+  thermo-chemical convection (code donated by Allen McNamara and Shijie Zhong).
+  A new cookcook (Cookbook7) in the manual introduces how to use this feature.
+
+* New feature to use the tracers to define the low viscosity wedges/channels
+  in the subduction zones (code donated by Vlad Manea).
+
+* Fixes of sevearal bugs: issue 72, 73, 75, 77 and 81. See the Geodynamics
+  Roundup issue tracker (http://geodynamics.org/roundup) and the file 
+  ChangeLog for details. Important bug fixes include:
+
+  - 'make install' broken for non-pyred CitcomS. (Issue 72)
+
+  - 'autocombine.py' did not work in Ubuntu 6.10. (Issue 73)
+
+  - Velocity b.c not scaled correctly when age becomes negative. When using
+    file_vbcs=on and the age becomes negative (passing the present time),
+    the read-in velocity BC was not scaled properly. Usually the boundary
+    velocity became ~1000x smaller than it should be. (Issue 77)
+  
+  - Errors in the manual. The manual failed to document the unit of the
+    vbc_file is in cm/yr. The manual contained a small error in the
+    description of the header of the coor_file. (Issue 75 and 81)
