[ckan-dev] CKAN 2.3 released, patch versions for 2.0.x, 2.1.x and 2.2x available

[Alex (Maxious) Sadleir]

Protip: if you have an ancient development environment somewhere with
git set to pull from https://github.com/okfn/ckan that now redirects
to https://github.com/okfn/ckan-barnet not
https://github.com/ckan/ckan so please check and manually update your
git remotes if you cannot find the release-v2.3 branch.
