You didn't change anything, but in 2.2 the Scheduled Transactions
implementation and UI received an overhaul.

In particular, "Since Last Run" is no longer a multi-screen Druid, but a
single dialog.  The second column,which indicates that the transaction is a
"Reminder", when clicked on, will become a control allowing you to change the
state from Reminder to To-Create (or Postponed, if you like).

As well, there is no "review" page; this was problematic, as the
straightforward way to do this was to actually *create* the transactions
before the Druid was finished, and just use the normal register.  But then,
if you started the Since Last Run process and canceled it, the file would
show up as modified (since all sorts of state is dirtied when transactions
are created).  As well, the "register embedded in a dialog" thing was always
a little weird.  I've replaced it with the "Review created transactions"
checkbox in the bottom right corner of the new Since Last Run dialog.  It
will show a register of the transactions that were just created.

The documentation does need an update; patches welcome! :)
