[lfs-announce] LFS and BLFS Version 11.3 are released

The Linux From Scratch community is pleased to announce the release of
LFS Version 11.3, LFS Version 11.3 (systemd), BLFS Version 11.3, and
BLFS Version 11.3 (systemd).

This release is a major update to both LFS and BLFS.

The LFS release includes updates to gcc-12.2.0, glibc-2.36, and binutils-2.39. The
Linux kernel has also been updated to version 5.19.2.

I want to especially thank David Bryant for extensive review and update of
the text in LFS to clarify the text throughout the book.

The BLFS version includes approximately 1000 packages beyond the base
Linux From Scratch Version 11.2 book. This release has 1357 updates
from the previous BLFS version including package updates and numerous text and
formatting changes.

Other changes to BLFS include an addition of numerous python modules to the book to
allow generation of package documentation using the Gi-DocGen and Sphinx
applications. Also several desktop environments (DEs) have been upgraded:
Gnome 43
KDE/Plasma 5.26.5
Xfce 4.18

Finally a new Xorg driver, intel-media-driver, has been added to to the
book to provide video acceleration for Intel Broadwell CPUs and higher.

Thanks for this release goes to many contributors. Notably:

Douglas Reno
Pierre Labastie
Xi Ruoyao
Thomas Trepl
Ken Moffat
Tim Tassonis
David Bryant
