v2.3.0

This is the main new feature release for this year and is the base version for the
CY2024 VFX Reference Platform (which specifies 2.3.x).

We anticipate making an ABI-compatible 2.3.x release near the end of the year that will
fix any issues found with the new features as the 2.3.0 library gets more widely tested.
Ideally, application developers will introduce 2.3.0 into their testing programs now and
then update to the latest 2.3.x release available before shipping next year.

This documentation page explains the new features in this release.
