While it’s not strictly the end of 2023, I don’t know how much I’ll be posting over the weekend.
Obviously a highlight is the release of 1.98 / 1.98.1, which has been a great release … and leads into 1.99 in January and a 2.0 release soon.
I speak for everyone in the project that we greatly appreciate comments, suggestions, bug reports, complaints, … every little bit helps!
In other words, the year-in-review is focusing on community contributions.
