+    <h2 id="0.22.0">0.22.0</h2>
+
+    <p><i>July 5th, 2022 &ndash; the "polish" update</i></p>
+
+    <p><b>Gameplay changes</b></p>
+
+    <ul>
+      <li>Added a help page to the pause menu, with gameplay information, tips, controls, Pikmin type explanations, and more.</li>
+      <li>White Pikmin poison now applies a status effect that drains health over time. Enemies still end up losing the same amount of health in the end.</li>
+      <li>Pikmin are now better at detecting gates and other rectangular objects.</li>
+      <li>Pikmin can now circle around enemies when in combat.</li>
+      <li>Bridges now grow in chunks, and the point Pikmin deliver fragments to, or the position of the pile of sticks, now moves along with the bridge.</li>
+      <li>
+        Misc. graphical enhancements:
+        <ul>
+          <li>All gates have received graphical improvements.</li>
+          <li>Decorative objects no longer cast light in blackout weather.</li>
+          <li>When Pikmin deliver an object to an Onion, ship, etc., the sucking animation is now more dynamic. Also, added a tossing animation for delivering bridge fragments to bridges.</li>
+          <li>Improved the look of the ship's beam and the leader's whistle. The <code>pretty_whistle</code> option has been removed. (Thanks Helodity)</li>
+          <li>HUD elements now animate when things change, and slide off-frame when menus are entered in-game. (Thanks Helodity)</li>
+          <li>In-game message boxes are now much more animated.</li>
+          <li>Health wheels and fraction numbers now appear and disappear smoothly, and are more animated in general.</li>
+          <li>Enemies now squash and stretch when damaged.</li>
+          <li>Objects being carried now sway.</li>
+          <li>Icons for controls have been improved.</li>
+        </ul>
+      </li>
+      <li>Fixed leaders being able to grab group members from the other side of walls or objects with collision, like gates.</li>
+    </ul>
+
+    <p><b>Content making changes</b></p>
+
+    <ul>
+      <li><a href="mob_bridge.html">Bridges</a> are now made up of objects. This should make the process of placing bridges in an area much simpler, since there's no need to fiddle around with sectors. Areas with bridges need to be updated to use this new bridge format.</li>
+      <li><a href="status.html">Status effects</a> now have a <code>health_change</code> property, which controls how much health the object loses per second in an absolute value, instead of it being a ratio of total health.</li>
+      <li><a href="misc_config.html#spike-damage">Spike damage types</a> now have a <code>status_to_apply</code> property, which allows the damaged object to receive a status effect.</li>
+      <li><a href="mob_type.html">Object types</a> now have a <code>status_vulnerabilities</code> block, which works like the other vulnerability blocks, but controls damage taken from status effects.</li>
+      <li><a href="mob_type.html">Object types</a> now have a <code>terrain_radius</code> property, which controls their collision against walls.</li>
+      <li><a href="mob_type.html">Object types</a> now have a <code>description</code> property, which can be used to briefly describe it. This 
+        appears in the area editor, and Pikmin types make use of this for the help page of the in-game pause menu.</li>
+      <li>The tooltip of an <a href="mob_type.html">object type</a>'s area editor property now word-wraps automatically. If you relied on line breaks (<code>\n</code>) to do this before, you may want to adjust it.</li>
+      <li>The <code>set_animation</code> <a href="events_and_actions.html">script action</a> now accepts the options <code>random_time</code> and <code>random_time_on_spawn</code>, to let the animation start on a random time, or start on a random time but only if the mob just spawned.</li>
+      <li>Added the <code>on_receive_delivery</code> <a href="events_and_actions.html">object script event</a>.</li>
+      <li>Added the <code>health_ratio</code> option to the <code>get_info</code> <a href="events_and_actions.html">object script action</a>.</li>
+      <li>Added the <code>health</code> <a href="script.html">script variable</a>.</li>
+      <li>Added the <code>max_health</code> <a href="script.html">script variable</a>.</li>
+      <li>Added the <code>bright_circle</code> and <code>bright_ring</code> <a href="misc_config.html">system assets</a>.</li>
+      <li>The area editor now also shows the terrain radius of selected objects (if the "Show territory/terrain radius" option is on).</li>
+      <li><a href="converter_type.html">Converters</a> now use an animation called <code>bumped</code> instead of <code>bumping</code>, for consistency's sake.</li>
+      <li><a href="misc_config.html">System assets</a> no longer have icons for mouse-related controls, but instead have one spreadsheet for many special control icons.</li>
+      <li>The <a href="gui.html">gameplay HUD</a> received all sorts of new items, and some have been renamed to be more consistent.</li>
+      <li><a href="area.html">Areas</a> and <a href="animation.html">animations</a> now save the engine version they were edited in. This will likely be used in the future to allow the engine to automatically port older content to newer versions.</li>
+    </ul>
