+seen at the [v2.2.0](https://github.com/Rosettea/Hilbish/releases/tag/v2.2.0)
+tag.
+
+Welcome to a very long awaited release of Hilbish, and on Christmas. Just think
+of it as a long preparing, late Christmas gift. :)
+This release does not contain a whole lot of changes, but it is a new
+release with enhancements and bug fixes!
+
+# Documentation
+As is a trend, the documentation has been improved by ONE HUNDRED TIMES.
+Okay, not quite, but they've definitely been given an uplift.
+Everything has been rewritten, new documentation has been added to both
+the website and the local docs accessible with the `doc` command.
+Both the website and local docs are now in sync with each other.
+
+This means that the `doc` command has also been improved to consolidate
+the documentation changes. It looks a lot better, has pagination, etc!
+
+Speaking of pagination...
+# Features
+## Greenhouse
+The first new added feature is the Greenhouse pager! It is a library and
+command accessible via `greenhouse`. It will have better integration with
+Hilbish things, like notifications and can be used as a base for displaying
+multi-line text output instead of paging to less. The usage of Greenhouse is
+more efficient and better in Hibish!
+
+## Notifications
+Wait... notifications? Yes! All new in the 2.2 release is a generic notification
+interface for things in Hilbish to alert the user of things going on. Stuff like
+background jobs finishing, simple alarms, *actual messages*, whatever you like.
+
+## Fuzzy Searching
+Users can now use fuzzy search for command history and completion search.
+Enable it with `hilbish.opts.fuzzy = true`!
+
+### Smaller Enhancements
+Did you know of the `cdr` command? I personally don't use it, but I've made
+it look slightly better for ease of use. That simple change is adding the indexes
+next to the directory so you'll know to type `cdr 2`.
+
+Users can now add aliases with numbered substitutions. In shell script,
+some people have to make functions for certain things that are actually
+just aliases. A simple example: `nix run nixpkgs#package` cannot be aliased
+because if it was aliased to something like `run` normally there would be a space after.
+
+Simple fix:
+```lua
+hilbish.alias('run', 'nix run nixpkgs#%1')
+```
+
+Rejoice!
+
+# Bug Fixes
+There are a small amount of bug fixes but they're still fixes!
+
+In some cases Hilbish will panic if:
+- Alias resolution results in something empty
+- A user does not return a table in a runner functions
+These are both fixed.
+
+An infinite loop has been patched out if someone navigates without
+having any prior history. Imagine pressing the up key on a fresh Hilbish
+install and you shell no longer working... that's gone now.
+
+Something else that's gone... is still Windows support, but I added a fix
+which will make file completion work now. Job management commands work as
+well now too due to an oversight when changing up the job functions.
+
+# Towards v2.3
+For the next release, I'm hoping that it won't take as long to deliver on
+what is realistically a small amount of changes. So v2.3 will be coming
+in a short time with some good changes, promise! See you in the
+next blog post.
