+## Parity-Ethereum [v2.2.2](https://github.com/paritytech/parity-ethereum/releases/tag/v2.2.2) (2018-11-29)
+
+Parity-Ethereum 2.2.2-beta is an exciting release. Among others, it improves sync performance, peering stability, block propagation, and transaction propagation times. Also, a warp-sync no longer removes existing blocks from the database, but rather reuses locally available information to decrease sync times and reduces required bandwidth.
+
+Before upgrading to 2.2.2, please also verify the validity of your chain specs. Parity Ethereum now denies unknown fields in the specification. To do this, use the chainspec tool:
+
+```
+cargo build --release -p chainspec
+./target/release/chainspec /path/to/spec.json
+```
+
+Last but not least, JSONRPC APIs which are not yet accepted as an EIP in the `eth`, `personal`, or `web3` namespace, are now considere experimental as their final specification might change in future. These APIs have to be manually enabled by explicitly running `--jsonrpc-experimental`.
