+Bitcoin ABC version 0.22.0 is now available from:
 
-  <https://download.bitcoinabc.org/0.21.13/>
+  <https://download.bitcoinabc.org/0.22.0/>
 
 This release includes the following features and fixes:
-
-- Various fixes to logging and error messages.
-
-RPC changes
------------
-- `createwallet` now returns a warning if an empty string is used as an
-encryption password, and does not encrypt the wallet, instead of raising an
-error. This makes it easier to disable encryption but also specify other
-options when using the `bitcoin-cli` tool.
-
-Low-level changes
-=================
-
-Tests
------
-- `-fallbackfee` was 0 (disabled) by default for the main chain, but 20000 by
-default for the test chains. Now it is 0 by default for all chains. Testnet
-and regtest users will have to add fallbackfee=20000 to their configuration if
-they weren't setting it and they want it to keep working like before. (#16524)
