[OpenPower-Firmware] op-build v2.3-rc2 released!

[Stewart Smith]

Release Notes for OpenPower Firmware v2.3-rc2
*********************************************

op-build v2.3-rc2 was released on Friday April 5th, 2019. It will
become the new stable release of op-build, following on from v2.2,
first released on March 9th, 2019.

The op-build v2.3 release cycle is a uniquely shorter one as we’ve
been working on getting ready to have a more reliably predictable
release schedule going for future releases.

op-build v2.3-rc2 contains all the fixes as of op-build v2.0.15, and
we expect to continue to do stable 2.0.y releases of v2.0 into the
forseeable future.

Please note that this is a RELEASE CANDIDATE and not the final v2.3
release. We expect to do a final v2.3 tagged release early April 2019.
Please test this release candidate heavily!


Known Bugs
==========

We have one known bug (carried over from rc1) that are currently
release blockers for the final v2.3.

* There exists a bug where Control-C behaviour in the petitboot
  shell has changed, which may cause some test scripts to get
  confused.


Fixed Bugs
==========

One of the two bugs listed in “known bugs” for rc1 has been fixed:

* There exists a bug where boot devices *may* not show up in
  petitboot until “Rescan Devices” is selected.
