+2.2.0
+================================================================================
+
+Changes of Note
+===============
+
+-  The Zstandard compression library is no longer required in order to
+   build PDAL.
+-  The Ubuntu conda image now installs all of PDAL under ``/usr``.
+-  The default type of the ClusterID dimension has changed from
+   ``uint64_t`` to ``int64_t``.
+-  Most operations now store data using ``ColumnPointTable``, which
+   stores data in arrays of dimensions, rather than arrays of point
+   data. This can improve the performance of some operations
+   substantially. Generally, this change should not be noticeable to
+   users.
+-  Normal refinement (``refine`` option) in ``filters.normal`` is now
+   off by default. (#3133)
+-  All filters now accept a ``where`` option to allow points to skip the
+   filters. (#3118)
+-  PDAL now searches for plugins in the same directory containing the
+   PDAL library. (#3181)
+
+API User Notes
+==============
+
+-  ``ColumnPointTable`` is now the default PDAL point table. If you have
+   written code that expects row-major data rather than column-major
+   data, be sure to use ``RowPointTable`` instead.
+
+New Stages
+==========
+
+-  ``filters.lloydkmeans`` labels points with a ``ClusterID`` based on
+   Lloyd’s algorithm. (#3075)
+-  ``filters.litree`` provides segmentation of points into trees and
+   non-trees. (#3111)
+-  ``filters.faceraster`` creates a raster from an existing
+   triangulation. (#3152)
+-  ``filters.optimalneighborhood`` computes the optimal number of
+   neighbors and corresponding radii (#3180)
+-  ``reader.obj`` allows reading of OBJ files.
+
+Removed Stages
+==============
+
+-  ``filters.hag`` has been removed. Use ``filters.hag_dem``,
+   ``filter.hag_delaunay`` or ``filters.hag_nn`` instead.
+
+Deprecated Stages
+=================
+
+-  ``filters.ferry``. Use the ``value`` option of ``filters.assign``
+   instead.
+
+Enhancements
+============
+
+-  ``filters.colorinterp`` now provides the ``clamp`` option to force
+   values to be in the range [min, max]. (#2729 - Thanks to Matt
+   Csencsits)
+-  Long options can now be specified on the command line without and
+   equal sign (‘=’) separating the option name and value. (#3016)
+-  Added ``seed`` option ``readers.faux`` in order to allow consistent
+   generation of random data. (#3014)
+-  Improvements have been made to cmake installation to better support
+   downstream projects. (#2262)
+-  Added ``color_vertices`` option to ``writers.gltf`` to allow writing
+   of RGB and normals. (#3043 - Thanks to Emma Krantz)
+-  Added ``classbits`` option to ``filters.smrf`` to specify points to
+   be ignored by the SMRF algorithm. (#3055)
+-  Delaunay triangulation performance has been improved on systems using
+   libstdc++. (#3076)
+-  ``filters.covariancefeatures`` now provides the options ``min_k`` and
+   ``radius`` to support radius search of neighbors in addition to
+   k-nearest. (#3083)
+-  ``filters.cluster`` now provide the option ``is3d`` to support
+   2-dimensional clustering. (#3084)
+-  ``filters.icp`` now emits a fully composed transformation matrix as
+   metadata that can be provided to ``filters.transformation`` to modify
+   point locations using a single operation. (#2939, #2962)
+-  ``filters.eigenvalues`` added the options ``stride``, ``radius`` and
+   ``min_k`` to allow radius and strided neighbor searching. (#3132)
+-  ``writers.las`` now accepts the ``filename`` key in the ``vlrs``
+   option to import VLR data from files. (#3146)
+-  ``filters.transformation`` now provides the ``invert`` option to
+   apply the inverse of the provided ``matrix``. (#3126)
+-  ``readers.ept`` now returns a clipped boundary in the summary to
+   match the behavior of the point count. (#3168)
+-  ``filters.head`` is now streamable.
+-  ``readers.i3s`` is now streamable.
+-  ``readers.slpk`` no longer expands the source file into a temporary
+   directory.
+-  ``filters.assign`` added the ``value`` option to allow standard
+   expression-based conditional assignment of values.(#1468)
+
+Bug Fixes
+=========
+
+-  A problem where the classifications of voting points were being
+   changed in ``filters.neighborclassifier`` has been fixed. (#3210)
+-  Fixed an issue where NITF-wrapped LAS files may fail to open (#3010)
+-  Reading and writing of E57 files over 2GB in size on Windows has been
+   fixed. (#3000)
+-  Fixed various compilations issues in ``filters.matlab``. (#3013)
+-  Added better handling for some cases of coordinate transformation
+   failure. (#3009)
+-  An error in calculating position for some data in ``filters.smrf``
+   has been fixed. (#3069)
+-  An error in calculating neighbors for isolated points in
+   ``filters.smrf`` has been fixed. (#3071)
+-  ``readers.las`` now creates dimensions ``ScanChannel`` and
+   ``ClassFlags`` only when reading point formats 6-10. It used to
+   create them for any version 1.4 file. (#3092)
+-  ``filters.poisson`` now throws exceptions instead of calling
+   ``exit()`` when it encounters a fatal error. (#3094)
+-  Errors that could occur in ``gdal::Raster::statistics()`` are now
+   returned to the caller, rather than resulting in a crash. (#3097)
+-  ``pdal tindex`` now ensures that traditional GIS axis order is used.
+   (#3099)
+-  ``readers.tindex`` now uses the file SRS rather than the tile index
+   column SRS unless overridden by the ``srs_column`` option. (#3012)
+-  An error in ``readers.ept`` that could create bad data when both the
+   ``bounds`` and ``addons`` options were specified has been fixed.
+   (#3054)
+-  ``filters.hag_nn`` and ``filter.hag_delaunay`` now log an error
+   rather than terminate if no ground points are found. (#3112)
+-  An error in reporting point count was when the number of points
+   exceeded the maximum 32-bit value in ``readers.ept`` has been fixed.
+   (#3120)
+-  ``pdal tindex`` now stores WKT instead of EPSG codes to handle
+   vertical SRS instances. (#3100)
+-  A bug in ``filters.crop`` that didn’t properly handle 2D cropping has
+   been fixed. (#3115)
+-  ``readers.text`` now properly handles quoted dimension names in the
+   header. (#2201)
+-  Windows-style directory separators are now properly handled in cases
+   using relative filenames. (#2936)
+-  An exception reading E57 points with a transform has been fixed.
+   (#3163)
+-  Fix a failure in ``readers.pcd`` when preview() was called before
+   execute(). (#3169)
+-  The compression level for ``writers.tiledb`` is now properly set to
+   7. (#3198)
+-  An issue where ``filters.neighborclassifier`` would modify
+   classifications as it calculated them has been fixed. (#3210)
