+# 2.2.4 (2024-01-26)
+
+## Highlights
+Mesa v2.2.4 is a small but important bugfix release for the 2.2 release series. It fixes an essential bug in where agents weren't shuffled in the `RandomActivation` scheduler (effectively making it sequential activation)([#2007](https://github.com/projectmesa/mesa/pull/2007)). It also fixes a small behaviour change in `RandomActivationByType.agents_by_type()` ([#1996](https://github.com/projectmesa/mesa/pull/1996)). Furthermore, this release adds an internal clock to the `Model`, which allows to use a Mesa model without a scheduler (using the `AgentSet` API)([#1942](https://github.com/projectmesa/mesa/pull/1942)).
+
+Updating from previous 2.2 releases is highly recommended, especially when using the `RandomActivation` scheduler.
+
