We have just released Rally 2.2.0. This is a bug fix release but also adds quite a few enhancements. Here are some highlights:

- We allow users to [specify static responses](https://github.com/elastic/rally/pull/1234) thus bypassing Rallys networking layer. This is primarily designed to allow users to test the performance of tracks and identify bottlenecks without the complexity of networking.
- Rally now [strictly checks](https://github.com/elastic/rally/pull/1245) that the target version of Elasticsearch is supported, exiting if this is not the case.
- Thanks to a community contribution users can now specify the [alignment of result tables](https://github.com/elastic/rally/pull/1236).
- The default for the cli parameter `--on-error` has [now changed](https://github.com/elastic/rally/pull/1235) to `continue`. Rally will now continue for all errors other than those considered fatal.
- The metric `relative-time` has been [replaced with](https://github.com/elastic/rally/pull/1231) `relative-time-ms`

**Quickstart**
