Hello everyone,
A first release candidate for criterion 2.3.0 is out.
All critical bugs have been fixed so far, and only a couple of known
issues of medium importance are left before release.
I don't expect any major code change between this and the final release
for 2.3.0 as the library is quite good feature-wise for a release. Plus,
it has been quite some time since 2.2.0.
This release candidate is here to ensure that any major bugs gets
found and fixed before release, and as such, testing and feedback
on your current setups is much appreciated.
I will also be doing a full announcement for 2.3.0 when it gets released,
along with future directions of the project :)
Thanks.
