See http://rdflib.net/2.3.0/ for the 2.3.0 release notes. Briefly, this is the first release in a new development series of releases -- the API should be compatible with 2.2.x, but be warned that the bits may still be shifting. The 2.2.x series remains the current stable series. Also see http://rdflib.net/contributors/ for the list of contributors. As part of the 2.3.x work the release process will be expanded to pull some of this information from rdflib.net when the release is cut -- so that the information will be included within the release.
