 :Codename: Monkey Magic
-:2.2b4: NOT RELEASED YET
+:2.2b4: 2004-07-09
+
+
+This fourth and final beta in the 2.2 series now stabilizes the internal
+APIs. Plugin authors are recommended to ensure their releases are
+compatible, so that 2.2rc1 can be a true release candidate, containing
+stable and compatible plugin versions. 
+
+For users of bzrlib as a library, one of the primary changes is to request
+that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use the returned context manager
+appropriately.
+
+Better interaction with ``bzr-loom`` to make sure branching from a loom
+even over a smart server still yields a local loom. Not to mention lots of
+bugfixes over 2.2b3.
