Hey all,

It's release day and here is -rc1. Looking at my own queue it feels almost small right now, but I both have things to pull in still and I hope for some pull requests from a few areas still as well.

In terms of a changelog, git log --merges v2023.10..v2024.01-rc1 contains what I've pulled but as always, better PR messages and tags will provide better results here.

I hope to remain on schedule and that means the rest of the rcs every other Monday, and with final release on January 8th, 2024. Thanks all!
