Now, 2.2 will be different from 2.1.x in some aspects but it will be as compatible as possible, which means (in theory at least) switching from 2.1.x to 2.2 should be fairly easy - recompile and that's it. Some internals will change and some deprecated things will go away - so if you're happen to use them, you have to change your code, but again this should be really simple.
