+Apache Hop 2.3.0 is mostly a bug fixing release with only a limited number of new features.
+
+== Weblate - New Translation tool
+
+With the switch to https://weblate.org/en/[Weblate^], it is now a lot easier to contribute translations to Apache Hop.
+
+All it takes is heading over to https://translate.project-hop.org[], creating an account and start translating Apache Hop in your native language. 
+
+Please create a https://github.com/apache/hop/issues[ticket^] if you want to translate Apache Hop into a language that is not yet available.

+
+== Documentation updates 
+
+Creating and updating documentation is a never-ending task. 
+
+There have been some layout changes: 
+
+* commands now live in tabs for Windows an Linux/Mac
+* large tables, code blocks etc can now be expanded or collapsed. 
+

+image::/img/Release-2.3/docs-expand-collapse.png[Documentation expand and collapse, width="60%"]
+
+A lot of pages were added and updated, some notable changes are: 
+
+* improved https://hop.apache.org/manual/next/pipeline/metadata-injection.html[Metadata Injection] pages and samples 
+* improved https://hop.apache.org/manual/next/metadata-types/pipeline-probe.html[Pipeline Probe] docs and samples
+* a new https://hop.apache.org/manual/next/community-blogs/index.html[list of community posts and articles] was added.
+
+== Vertica Bulk Loader 
+
+The https://www.vertica.com[Vertica] https://hop.apache.org/manual/next/pipeline/transforms/verticabulkloader.html[Bulk Loader] was already available as an external plugin, but has now been integrated into the main code base.
+
+This bulk loader drastically improves the data loading speed to the Vertica analytical database.

+
+Without community interaction and contribution, Hop is just a coding club! Please feel free to join, participate in the discussion, test, file bug tickets on the software or documentation, ... Contributing is a lot more than writing code.
+
