v2.3.0 Spicy Maple Bacon 🥓

Hot out of the oven with a new minor version release! It's been a while since the last ganache-core release, but we haven't been idle. This time around we've made things spicy (with some performance improvements) and sweetened the recipe (by adding a new feature) – and we've also sprinkled in plenty of bug fixes!

Release Highlights

This release is mostly bug fixes, but there are some huge performance improvements as well, most importantly we've finally re-enabled async request processing! Thank you everyone who contributed to the research, commits, conversations, and PRs behind the fix for the race condition bug we've been working on since 2017.

You shouldn't have any issues when upgrading from a v2.*.* to v2.3.0, but if you do please let us know by filing an issue.
