+# Highlights in 2.2

+The list below highlights some of the new features and enhancements added to MLlib in the `2.2`
+release of Spark:
+
+* `ALS` methods for _top-k_ recommendations for all users or items, matching the functionality
+ in `mllib` ([SPARK-19535](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-19535)). Performance
+ was also improved for both `ml` and `mllib`
+ ([SPARK-11968](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-11968) and
+ [SPARK-20587](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-20587))

+ [SPARK-19635](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-19635))
+* `FPGrowth` algorithm for frequent pattern mining
+ ([SPARK-14503](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-14503))
+* `GLM` now supports the full `Tweedie` family
+ ([SPARK-18929](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-18929))
+* `Imputer` feature transformer to impute missing values in a dataset
+ ([SPARK-13568](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-13568))
+* `LinearSVC` for linear Support Vector Machine classification
+ ([SPARK-14709](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-14709))
+* Logistic regression now supports constraints on the coefficients during training
+ ([SPARK-20047](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-20047))

 # Migration guide
 
 MLlib is under active development.
 The APIs marked `Experimental`/`DeveloperApi` may change in future releases,
 and the migration guide below will explain all changes between releases.
 
-## From 2.0 to 2.1
+## From 2.1 to 2.2
 
 ### Breaking changes
-
-**Deprecated methods removed**
 
-* `setLabelCol` in `feature.ChiSqSelectorModel`
-* `numTrees` in `classification.RandomForestClassificationModel` (This now refers to the Param called `numTrees`)
-* `numTrees` in `regression.RandomForestRegressionModel` (This now refers to the Param called `numTrees`)
-* `model` in `regression.LinearRegressionSummary`
-* `validateParams` in `PipelineStage`
-* `validateParams` in `Evaluator`
+There are no breaking changes.
 
 ### Deprecations and changes of behavior
 
 **Deprecations**
 
-* [SPARK-18592](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-18592):
-  Deprecate all Param setter methods except for input/output column Params for `DecisionTreeClassificationModel`, `GBTClassificationModel`, `RandomForestClassificationModel`, `DecisionTreeRegressionModel`, `GBTRegressionModel` and `RandomForestRegressionModel`
+There are no deprecations.
 
 **Changes of behavior**
 
-* [SPARK-17870](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17870):
- Fix a bug of `ChiSqSelector` which will likely change its result. Now `ChiSquareSelector` use pValue rather than raw statistic to select a fixed number of top features.
-* [SPARK-3261](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-3261):
- `KMeans` returns potentially fewer than k cluster centers in cases where k distinct centroids aren't available or aren't selected.
-* [SPARK-17389](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17389):
- `KMeans` reduces the default number of steps from 5 to 2 for the k-means|| initialization mode.
+* [SPARK-19787](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-19787):
+ Default value of `regParam` changed from `1.0` to `0.1` for `ALS.train` method (marked `DeveloperApi`).
+ **Note** this does _not affect_ the `ALS` Estimator or Model, nor MLlib's `ALS` class.
+* [SPARK-14772](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-14772):
+ Fixed inconsistency between Python and Scala APIs for `Param.copy` method.
+* [SPARK-11569](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-11569):
+ `StringIndexer` now handles `NULL` values in the same way as unseen values. Previously an exception
+ would always be thrown regardless of the setting of the `handleInvalid` parameter.
