<h1>Release Notes for OpenPower Firmware v2.3-rc2<a class="headerlink" href="#release-notes-for-openpower-firmware-v2-3-rc2" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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!</p>

<h2>Known Bugs<a class="headerlink" href="#known-bugs" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>We have one known bug (carried over from rc1) that are currently release blockers for the final
v2.3.</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>There exists a bug where Control-C behaviour in the petitboot shell has changed, which may cause
some test scripts to get confused.</li>
</ul>

<div class="section" id="fixed-bugs">
<h2>Fixed Bugs<a class="headerlink" href="#fixed-bugs" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>One of the two bugs listed in “known bugs” for rc1 has been fixed:</p>
<ul class="simple">
