  12.2.

  removed, binutils 2.40 is now the default

- Support for gcc 13 added, gcc 10 removed, gcc 12 is now the default

- Architectures:
  - Additional x86-64 variants added
  - RISC-V vector extension support added

- Infrastructure:
  - Go now built in 3 stages to be able to update to Go 1.20.x.

- New defconfigs: rock5b

- New packages: composer, conmon, dfu-programmer, esp-hosted,
  kodi-imagedecoder-heif, kodi-imagedecoder-raw, libde2654, libdecor,
  libdisplay-info, libheif, llvm-cmake, llvm-libunwind, lua-dkjson,
  mbpoll, mdnsd, mhz, nftables-python, opencsd, python-libconf,
  python-blinker, python-midiutil, python-rdps-py, python-wheel, qt6svg,

The next release will be 2023.11. Expect the first release candidate at
the beginning of November and the final release at the end of the month.

This release will be supported with security and other important fixes
until 2023.11 is out. For longer support, consider our long term support
release (2023.02.x) instead, which will be supported until April 2024.
