v2.3.0-rc1 - a bugfix release

on GitHub

We're pleased to be publishing the release candidate for 2.3.0 (the official release should follow in a week or so).

This release contains primarily bug fixes, but includes one notable feature enhancement: a change contributed by @hhirtz that updates the draft/rename specification to correspond to the new (soon-to-be) published draft.

Many thanks to @hhirtz for contributing patches, to @bogdomania, @jesopo, @kylef, @Mitaka8,and @mogad0n for reporting issues and helping test, and to our translators for contributing translations.

This release includes no changes to the config file format or database changes.
