We're continuing to grind toward a 1.23.0 final tag.
Bertrand has had less time than he hoped, but told me he has carried out
some testing and is hopeful for this weekend. Fingers crossed.
Peter, Bertrand, and I all agreed that the code changes to the mom(7)
macro package Peter committed to the master branch accidentally earlier
this month are not sufficiently disruptive to warrant a reset of the
release cycle (this would probably mean an rc5). It did not visibly
regress the only document that would have been plausibly affected (the
"typesetting.mom" example), and, I would guess, amounts to groff 1.23.0
users getting a few more bug fixes than they otherwise would.
The master branch remains frozen for code changes but has not been idle.
Apart from the mom whoops, here are the files changed since 1.23.0.rc4.
This is diffstat(1) output, where the numbers indicate quantities of
changed lines.

These are all changes to documentation files, plain text files (usually
internal, developer-facing documentation), or code comments. (The
"PROBLEMS" file saw a large change because I reorganized it in reverse
release-chronological order per a suggestion from Bruno Haible.)
It's my hope that groff 1.23.0 will be reputed as the best-documented
groff release yet.
