+- Update to 2.3.0
+  * New Features
+    - removed support for building Sigil with Qt5 as our code had become a rats nest of qt version ifdefs.
+      See our git branch "qt5final" for the very last buildable version of Sigil under Qt5
+    - our new minium version to build Qt is Qt 6.4.0 or later
+    - removed the need and usage for Qt6Compat5 as its contents were deprecated and will go away eventually
+    - added support for using the ICU library to help replace the range of encodings supported by the old QTextCodec
+    - we are now using NFC unicode normalization form for all content, links, urls, and file paths.
+    - made Sigil's Well-Formed Check (Sanity Check) more robust to whitespace parsing rules
+      and allowed it to detect and report missing XML Headers
+    - we have upgraded to use Qt 6.7.2 and Python 3.11.9 for the base of our Windows and MacOS releases
+    - added a Bookmark Location toolbar icon right beside the Back button for easier use
+    - Opening EditTOC, SpeckcheckEditor or MetaDataEditor will now highlight the first line entry
+    - Add new Tool: Rebase OPF Manifest IDs on Current Filenames
+    - Update to 3rdparty PCRE2 version 10.44 for bug fixes
+    - General code cleanup to remove unneeded hacks and workarounds for old Qt bugs now fixed
+  * Bug Fixes
+    - reverted all Qt Buttons and CheckBoxes to default TabFocus to speed up focus changes and reduce clicks
+    - fixed SelectFiles (AddCover, Insert Image) to again use the arrows keys to walk the list
+    - fixed some lost or stolen focus issues
+    - fix overwriting of existing nav document and cover-image manifest properties
+    - fix for Reports column sorting that use thousands group separators
+    - fix for Reports file size column that did not properly use QLocale for decimal points and separators
+    - fix crashing due to PCRE2 bugs in Qt 6.7.2 with their internal PCRE2
+- Update documentation to 2024.08.15
