mesa 23.3.0-rc2

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 01, 2023

Hello everyone,

I'm happy to announce the second release candidate, 23.3.0-rc2.
As always, if you find any issues please report them here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/new
Any issue that should block the release of 23.3.0 final, thus adding more 23.3.0-rc* release candidates, must be added to this milestone: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/milestones/44
The next release candidate is expected in one week, on November 8th.
Cheers, Eric
