You can look at Trac <http://svn.gnucash.org/trac/> to see the
history of all the changes made to the 2.2 branch since 2.2.0
was released.  Actually, that's not completely true because
we didn't actually create the 2.2 branch until around 2.2.1.

But I can't imagine anything that could cause this unless you
have some garbage in your datafile that 2.2.0 ignored but 2.2.4
doesn't (or vise-versa).  You might want to look for some errant
transactions in your data file.

As what point does the balance start being off?
Did your locale change?  Maybe your data file is in a
different currency and GnuCash is performing a translation for you?

Good Luck,
