[Haskell-cafe] [ANN] Release candidate for `mtl-2.3`

[Emily Pillmore]

Hello all,

Chessai and I are excited to announce a release candidate for `mtl`: [`mtl-2.3-rc3`]( https://github.com/haskell/mtl/releases/tag/v2.3-rc3 )!

## Timeline

The timeline for release will be as follows:

- This announcement marks the start of the timeline

- We will give 2 weeks of testing before considering release

- If no major issues are filed before then, `mtl-2.3-rc3` will be released as `mtl-2.3`, and if issues are found, they will be amended, and a new release candidate will be announced, resetting the 2 week period.

To test `mtl-2.3-rc3` for yourself, please feel free to add the following to your `cabal.project`:

```

source-repository-package

type: git

location: https://github.com/haskell/mtl.git

tag: 5d0f62b8007bb96e49f36a5544741cfe96a97130

```

or, if you're a stack user add this entry to your `extra-deps`:

```

- git: https://github.com/haskell/mtl.git

commit: 5d0f62b8007bb96e49f36a5544741cfe96a97130

```

And make sure to adjust all bounds/`allow-newer` accordingly. Please note that this release of `mtl` is a full major version release, and *will be the last of the 2.x series before work begins on updating the mtl class hierarchy*.
