Merge release branch into master

@david-keitel pointed out that tags made from the release branch don't make it into the history of master. Long-term we may want to try a better solution, but for now, this MR will add these commits to that history.

Compare with previous version

I'm going to close this MR as it presented other problems. The most recent release (2.2.0) correctly sits on master. I think this shows that our experiment with the release branch didn't work as we did it then. I'll try to find a more viable solution for future release branches we might maintain.
