We are pleased to announce the release candidate for the 2.3 version of Xibo. The codename for this version is “Wolf”.

[14P/Wolf](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/14P/Wolf) is a periodic comet with an orbital period of 8.74a (Julian years). Max Wolf (Heidelberg, Germany) discovered the comet on September 17, 1884. It is particularly interesting as its perihelion and orbital period change due to the influcence of Jupiter.

**2.3.0-rc1 is a release candidate and should not be used in production. You can upgrade to this release from 1.8/2.x series.**

We've addressed 8 issues in this release. Please be sure to checkout our [2.3.0-alpha release announcement](https://blog.xibo.org.uk/2-3-0-alpha-released/) and [2.3.0-beta release announcement](https://blog.xibo.org.uk/2-3-0-beta-released/) where we cover the major feature changes between 2.2 and 2.3.  
 We also have a guide that highlights the improvements that have been made, so do take a look: [Improved Layout Designer in 2.3](https://community.xibo.org.uk/t/improved-layout-designer-in-2-3-0-alpha/21498)
