 ### wrench 2.2
 
+(July 20, 2023) this release includes **a new REST API**, **new StorageService implementations**, and **fast simulation of zero-size messages**. More specifically:
+
 - Implementation of `wrench-daemon`, which can be started on the local machine and supports a REST API so that users can create and run simulations in a language-agnostic manner.
 - Implementation of non-bufferized (i.e., buffer size of zero) storage services, which is transparent to the user but can vastly reduce simulation time by using a fluid (rather than message-based) model for how storage services read/write data to/from disk while sending/receiving that same data to/from the network. 
 - API change by which a `FileLocation` now includes a `DataFile`.
