This release of BigBlueButton 2.3 includes multiple bug fixes and several enhancements.
Note that this release also includes multiple pull requests from branch 2.2.x-release which have not yet been released (2.2.32 is in progress) They are listed in their own section at the very bottom of the release notes
Also note that in #11104 we modified the guest waiting url to comply with the inclusion of instanceId for nodejs processes. You may need to update the url manually if you have a pre-existing 2.3 installation. It should work correctly for new installations.
