Hey all,

I'm behind schedule, yes. By the time I noticed I had missed doing -rc1 it was nearly time for -rc2, so I decided to just wait until now. Extra long merge window. Anyhow, there's a lot in here and testing on as many platforms as possible is much appreciated.

In terms of a changelog, git log --merges v2022.10..v2023.01-rc1 contains what I've pulled but as always, better PR messages and tags will provide better results here.

I'm going to try and stay on the correct schedule now and that means the rest of the rcs every other Monday, and with final release on January 9th, 2023. Thanks all!
