+## 2.3.0
+### Highlights
+This release adds a new algorithm for [output space exploration](https://emaworkbench.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ema_documentation/em_framework/outputspace_exploration.html). The way in which convergence tracking for optimization is supported has been overhauled completely, see the updated [directed search](https://emaworkbench.readthedocs.io/en/latest/indepth_tutorial/directed-search.html) user guide for full details. The documentation has moreover been expanded with a [comparison to Rhodium](https://emaworkbench.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/other_packages.html).
+
+With this new release, the installation process has been improved by reducing the number of required dependencies. Recommended packages and connectors can now be installed as _extras_ using pip, for example `pip install -U ema-workbench[recommended,netlogo]`. See the [updated installation instructions](https://emaworkbench.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/installation.html) for all options and details.
+
+The 2.3.x release series supports Python 3.8 to 3.11. It can be installed as usual via PyPI, with:
+```
+pip install --upgrade ema-workbench
+```

 ### Highlights
 With the 2.2 release, the EMAworkbench can now connect to [Vadere](https://www.vadere.org/) models on pedestrian dynamics. When inspecting a Prim Box peeling trajectory, multiple points on the peeling trajectory can be inspected simultaneously by inputting a list of integers into [`PrimBox.inspect()`](https://emaworkbench.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ema_documentation/analysis/prim.html#ema_workbench.analysis.prim.PrimBox.inspect).
