+   `RIDE (Robot Framework
+   IDE) <https://github.com/robotframework/RIDE/>`__ v2.2.1 is a new
+   release with some enhancements and bug fixes. The reference for valid
+   arguments is `Robot Framework <https://robotframework.org/>`__
+   current version, 7.3.2. However, internal library code is originally
+   based on version 3.1.2, but adapted for new versions.
+
+   -  This version supports Python 3.9 up to 3.13 (and also tested on
+      3.14 with wxPython 4.2.3).
+   -  There are some changes, or known issues:
+
+      -  🐞 - Rename Keywords, Find Usages/Find where used are not
+         finding all occurrences. Please, double-check findings and
+         changes.
+      -  🐞 - Some argument types detection (and colorization) is not
+         correct in Grid Editor.
+      -  🐞 - In Grid Editor, private keywords defined in test suites
+         with **Name** setting, will show with error color even if used
+         correctly in another local keyword.
+      -  🐞 - RIDE **DOES NOT KEEP** Test Suites formatting or
+         structure, causing differences in files when used on other IDE
+         or Editors. The option to not reformat the file is not working.
+      -  🐞 - In Grid Editor, when showing settings, scrolling down with
+         mouse or using down is not working. You can change to Text
+         Editor and back to Grid Editor, to restore normal behavior.
+      -  🐞 - In Files Explorer, the size of the files tree is not
+         always using all available space.
+
+   **New Features and Fixes Highlights**
+
+   -  Added context menu to File Explorer, to Open test suites
+      directories or test suites files (also with double-click).
+   -  Added context menu option to Open Containing Folder, in operating
+      system file explorer, or specific tool.
+   -  Added Config Panel button to File Explorer plugin. Here, you can
+      set the operating system file explorer, or specify other tool, the
+      Font style, and Colors.
+   -  Fixed persistance of the state docked/floating of File Explorer.
+   -  Fixed Cut (Ctrl-X) when editing the content of a cell in Grid
+      Editor, before was deleting all content.
+
+   **The minimal wxPython version is, 4.0.7, and RIDE supports the
+   current version, 4.2.3, which we recommend.**
+
+   *Linux users are advised to install first wxPython from .whl package
+   at*
+   `wxPython.org <https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/>`__,
+   or by using the system package manager.
+
+   The
+   `CHANGELOG.adoc <https://github.com/robotframework/RIDE/blob/master/CHANGELOG.adoc>`__
+   lists the changes done on the different versions.
+
+   All issues targeted for RIDE v2.2 can be found from the `issue
+   tracker
+   milestone <https://github.com/robotframework/RIDE/issues?q=milestone%3Av2.2>`__.
+
+   Questions and comments related to the release can be sent to the
+   `robotframework-users <https://groups.google.com/group/robotframework-users>`__
+   mailing list or to the channel #ride on `Robot Framework
+   Slack <https://robotframework-slack-invite.herokuapp.com>`__, and
+   possible bugs submitted to the `issue
+   tracker <https://github.com/robotframework/RIDE/issues>`__. You
+   should see `Robot Framework
+   Forum <https://forum.robotframework.org/c/tools/ride/>`__ if your
+   problem is already known.
+
+   To install the latest release with
+   `pip <https://pypi.org/project/pip/>`__ installed, just run
+
+   .. code:: literal-block
+
+      pip install --upgrade robotframework-ride==2.2.1
+
+   to install exactly the specified release, which is the same as using
+
+   .. code:: literal-block
+
+      pip install --upgrade robotframework-ride
+
+   Alternatively you can download the source distribution from
+   `PyPI <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/robotframework-ride>`__ and
+   install it manually. For more details and other installation
+   approaches, see the `installation
+   instructions <https://github.com/robotframework/RIDE/wiki/Installation-Instructions>`__.
+   If you want to help in the development of RIDE, by reporting issues
+   in current development version, you can install with:
+
+   .. code:: literal-block
+
+      pip install -U https://github.com/robotframework/RIDE/archive/develop.zip
+
+   Important document for helping with development is the
+   `CONTRIBUTING.adoc <https://github.com/robotframework/RIDE/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.adoc>`__.
+
+   To start RIDE from a command window, shell or terminal, just enter:
+
+   ::
+
+      ride
+
+   You can also pass some arguments, like a path for a test suite file
+   or directory.
+
+   ::
+
+      ride example.robot
+
+   Another possible way to start RIDE is:
+
+   .. code:: literal-block
+
+      python -m robotide
+
+   You can then go to Tools>Create RIDE Desktop Shortcut, or run the
+   shortcut creation script with:
+
+   .. code:: literal-block
+
+      python -m robotide.postinstall -install
+
+   or
+
+   .. code:: literal-block
