WCAG 2.2 became a W3C Recommendation in October 2023. It adds nine success criteria, of which two are commonly missed at level AA: 2.5.8 Target Size (Minimum), requiring pointer targets to be at least 24 by 24 CSS pixels unless an exception such as sufficient spacing or inline text applies, and 2.4.11 Focus Not Obscured (Minimum), requiring that a focused element is not entirely hidden by sticky headers, footers or cookie banners.
It also removes 4.1.1 Parsing, now considered obsolete because modern browsers recover from the duplicate identifiers and unclosed tags it was written for, so an audit still citing it is running an outdated ruleset. Sticky elements are by far the most frequent cause of the new focus criterion failing, and they are easy to miss because the failure appears only while tabbing.
