+## 222.4.0
+
+### New features
+
+* Added the following types from `System.Numerics` to the sandbox: `Complex`, `Matrix3x2`, `Matrix4x4`, `Plane`, `Quaternion`, `Vector3`, `Vector4`.
+
+
+## 222.3.0
+
+### New features
+
+* `ITileDefinition.EditorHidden` allows hiding a tile from the tile spawn panel.
+* Ordered event subscriptions now take child types into account, so ordering based on a shared type will work.
+
+### Bugfixes
+
+* Cross-map BUI range checks now work.
+* Paused entities update on prototype reload.
+
+### Other
+
+* Fixed build compatibility with .NET 8.0.300 SDK, due to changes in how Central Package Management behaves.
+* Physics component has delta states to reduce network usage.
+
+
+## 222.2.0
+
+### New features
+
+* Added `EntityQuery.Comp()` (abbreviation of `GetComponent()`)
+
+### Bugfixes
+
+* Fix `SerializationManager.TryGetVariableType` checking the wrong property.
+* Fixed GrammarSystem mispredicting a character's gender
+
+### Other
+
+* User interface system now performs range checks in parallel
+
+
+## 222.1.1
+
+### Bugfixes
+
+* Fixed never setting BoundUserInterface.State.
+
+### Other
+
+* Add truncate for filesaving.
+* Add method for getting the type of a data field by name from ISerializationManager.
+
+
+## 222.1.0
+
+### New features
+
+* Added `BoundKeyEventArgs.IsRepeat`.
+* Added `net.lidgren_log_warning` and `net.lidgren_log_error` CVars.
+
+### Bugfixes
+
+* Fix assert trip when holding repeatable keybinds.
+
+### Other
+
+* Updated Lidgren to v0.3.1. This should provide performance improvements if warning/error logs are disabled.
+
+
+## 222.0.0
+
+### Breaking changes
+
+* Mark IComponentFactory argument in EntityPrototype as mandatory.
+
+### New features
+
+* Add `EntProtoId<T>` to check for components on the attached entity as well.
+
+### Bugfixes
+
+* Fix PVS iterating duplicate chunks for multiple viewsubscriptions.
+
+### Other
+
+* Defer clientside BUI opens if it's the first state that comes in.
