+Hi everyone, here is the **20th** devlog of **Rakugo Project**.
+I'm happy to announce that we add huge new features in RakuScript this release including:
+- now is possible to use double quotes inside strings example: `"it is a "really" good one"`
+- using assignment operators like: =, +=, -=, *=, /=
+- using variables in any string: say, ask, menu and for variables
+
+# Rakugo Dialogue System 2.2
+**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/rakugoteam/Rakugo-Dialogue-System/compare/2.1.1...2.2
+
+## Strings 
+### Using double quotes
+
+Like the title says, you can do that now `"it is a "really" good one"`
+
+*Added with [#257](https://github.com/rakugoteam/Rakugo-Dialogue-System/issues/257) use double quotes inside strings by @theludovyc in [#261](https://github.com/rakugoteam/Rakugo-Dialogue-System/issues/261)*
+
+### Variables inside strings
+
+The big update of this version ! You can now use variables inside any strings, for say, ask questions and ask variable, menu choices and for variables !
+```renpy
+# example
+player.life_str = "You have <player.life> life points left"
+```
+
+A very important thing: string is replaced with a value **when you use/read it**, not on assignment.
+```renpy
+# example
+player.life = 10
+player.life_str = "You have <player.life> life points left"
+player.life = 5
+narrator "<player.life_str>"
+```
+The narrator will say: *"You have 5 life points left"*.
+
+```gdscript
+# example
+Rakugo.get_variable("<player.life_str>")
+Rakugo.get_variable("player.life_str")
+# both returns "You have 5 life points left"
+```
+
+We took advantage of this to let you a new Rakugo method `replace_variables(text:String)`.
+```gdscript
+# example
+Rakugo.replace_variables("You have <player.lifelife points left")
+# will return: "You have 5 life points left"
+```
+
+*Added with [#255](https://github.com/rakugoteam/Rakugo-Dialogue-System/issues/255) Use variables inside any strings by @Jeremi360 in [#256](https://github.com/rakugoteam/Rakugo-Dialogue-System/pull/256)*
+
+## Handle common operators for variable assignment
+
+Another big update! You can use assignment operators like: `=`, `+=`, `-=`, `*=`, `/=` to assign a value to a variable.
+Before that you could only use `=` - it allowed only to overwrite variables values.
+Example: `gd.bugs -= 1`
+We would like to handle expressions for the v2.3 (example: damage = dps + boost + 1)
+
+*Added with [#262](https://github.com/rakugoteam/Rakugo-Dialogue-System/issues/262) Handle common operators for variable assignment by @theludovyc in [#263](https://github.com/rakugoteam/Rakugo-Dialogue-System/pull/263)*
+
+## HTML5 export now works on itch.io with firefox
+
+Some time ago Rakugo wasn't working on itch.io with firefox for html5 export, because we use multi-threading feature. 
+it wasn't handled on this website. It is now resolved !
+
+*Fixed by [#52](https://github.com/rakugoteam/Rakugo-Dialogue-System/issues/52) Rakugo not works on itch.io with firefox*
+
+You can see my @theludovyc post here https://itch.io/post/5713938, and the main one https://itch.io/t/2025776/experimental-sharedarraybuffer-support.
+
+So you have just one thing to remember when you export now, is to not forget to add your `.*rk` files [rakugo-docs/2.1/export](https://rakugoteam.github.io/rakugo-docs/2.1/export/)
+
+### Fixed Bugs
+* fix [#49](https://github.com/rakugoteam/Rakugo-Dialogue-System/issues/49) handle escape characters by @theludovyc in [#254](https://github.com/rakugoteam/Rakugo-Dialogue-System/pull/254)
+* hotfix for menu index out of range by @theludovyc in [#258](https://github.com/rakugoteam/Rakugo-Dialogue-System/pull/258)
+
+### Other Changes
+* hotfix remove prints in Parser.gd by @theludovyc in [#253](https://github.com/rakugoteam/Rakugo-Dialogue-System/pull/253)
+* fix [#259](https://github.com/rakugoteam/Rakugo-Dialogue-System/issues/259) remove warning in get_character by @theludovyc in [#260](https://github.com/rakugoteam/Rakugo-Dialogue-System/pull/260)
+* Bump version to 2.2, clean up rakugo dir from git config files by @Jeremi360 in [#267](https://github.com/rakugoteam/Rakugo-Dialogue-System/pull/267)
+
+We will update our docs soon.
+This is all form us, see you next time.
