[ANN] Prosody 0.12.3 released

[Matthew Wild]

Hi folks,

We are pleased to announce the release of Prosody 0.12.3.

This is a bugfix release for our stable 0.12 series. Most notably, it
fixes a regression for SQL users introduced in 0.12.2, and a separate
long-standing compatibility issue with archive stores on certain
MySQL/MariaDB versions.

It also fixes an issue with websockets discovered by the Jitsi team,
some issues with our internal HTTP client API, and we’ve improved the
accuracy of ‘prosodyctl check dns’ in certain configurations.

A summary of changes since the previous release:

#1787: mod_storage_sql changes (d580e6a57cbb) breaks prosodyctl)

(#1639)
- prosodyctl check dns: Check for Direct TLS SRV records even if not
