Announcing Incus 6.23!

[Stéphane Graber]

Hello,

The Incus team is pleased to announce the release of Incus 6.23!

It’s also quite a busy release with a good mix of security issues
(mostly thanks to an ongoing analysis by 7asecurity), bug fixes and
performance improvements and then a very good selection of features
from expanding our OS support for VMs to adding more flexible instance
storage with dependent volumes!
