OpenDKIM v2.3.0 beta period starting

First: Happy New Year, all!

I have uploaded v2.3.0.Beta0 to SourceForge, and thus begins the beta
testing period for v2.3.0. I'm aiming to release in mid-February, giving
us about six weeks to give it a good shakedown.

This release is heavy on new features. I've done my best to document
everything that's been added or changed, but please do point out anything
I've either missed or done without enough detail. Contributions in this
area would also be wonderful.

I'm a little short on writing unit tests for everything that's been added,
so while waiting for feedback from the community I'll be working on adding
unit tests for the new stuff as well as for any of the old stuff that has
insufficient coverage. Feel free to make suggestions for stuff that needs
better unit testing (or submit some yourself!).

As usual, please report bugs to the opendkim-dev list and don't use the
other lists or the trackers. This is the only announcement that will be
made to opendkim-users about the beta period.

Here's an excerpt from the pending release announcement:

--- snip ---
This is a major new feature release with a few minor bug fixes included.
There are also a few new experimental extensions available for those
interested in participating. A few worth noting:

- the final Lua script can now do RBL queries
- VBR support has been enhanced
- statistics gathering has also been enhanced, with a few more pieces of data
   being tracked and a few improvements made to anonymization of data
- several simplifications have been made to various configuration settings
- experimental support for Authorized Third-Party Signers (ATPS) was added
- compile-time support for GNUTLS as a replacement for OpenSSL was added
- will now use an opendkim.conf in the default location if it's there
