+### Notable Changes
+
+This release marks the transition of Node.js 22.x into Long Term Support (LTS)
+with the codename 'Jod'. The 22.x release line now moves into "Active LTS"
+and will remain so until October 2025. After that time, it will move into
+"Maintenance" until end of life in April 2027.
+
+Other than updating metadata, such as the `process.release` object, to reflect
+that the release is LTS, no further changes from Node.js 22.10.0 are included.
+
+### OpenSSL 3.x
+
+Official binaries for Node.js 22.x currently include OpenSSL 3.0.x (more
+specifically, the [quictls OpenSSL fork](https://github.com/quictls/openssl)).
+OpenSSL 3.0.x is the currently designated long term support version that is
+scheduled to be supported until 7th September 2026, which is within the expected
+lifetime of Node.js 22.x. We are expecting upstream OpenSSL to announce a
+successor long term support version prior to that date and since OpenSSL now
+follows a semantic versioning-like versioning scheme we expect to be able to
+update to the next long term supported version of OpenSSL during the lifetime of
+Node.js 22.x.
