Hi, devs!

GROMACS 2023 beta release!

Many thanks to all of you who helped to implement and review new features and/or contributed valuable refactoring! The next 2.5 weeks are reserved for intensive testing to identify and fix ideally all, but more realistically as many issues as possible till the release candidate.

For the remaining issues and pending merge requests for the 2023 release, please have a look at the related milestones:
