Abseil LTS 20230117 (Release Candidate 1)

What's New:

The Abseil logging library has been released. This library provides facilities for writing short text messages about the status of a program to stderr, disk files, or other sinks (via an extension API). See the logging library documentation for more information.
An extension point, AbslStringify(), allows user-defined types to seamlessly work with Abseil's string formatting functions like absl::StrCat() and absl::StrFormat().
A library for computing CRC32C checksums has been added.
Floating-point parsing now uses the Eisel-Lemire algorithm, which provides a significant speed improvement.
The flags library now provides suggestions for the closest flag(s) in the case of misspelled flags.
Using CMake to install Abseil now makes the installed artifacts (in particular absl/base/options.h) reflect the compiled ABI.

Abseil now requires at least C++14 and follows Google's Foundational C++ Support Policy. See this table for a list of currently supported versions compilers, platforms, and build tools.
The legacy spellings of the thread annotation macros/functions (e.g. GUARDED_BY()) have been removed by default in favor of the ABSL_ prefixed versions (e.g. ABSL_GUARDED_BY()) due to clashes with other libraries. The compatibility macro ABSL_LEGACY_THREAD_ANNOTATIONS can be defined on the compile command-line to temporarily restore these spellings, but this compatibility macro will be removed in the future.
