This is the tracking issue for writing the Go 1.23 Release Notes. The version at tip can be viewed at https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.23.
This is the first release to use the improved release note process being implemented in #64169. Also see a corresponding golang-dev thread. (CC @jba.)
Up until the the end of the development cycle (end of May), release note fragments are added inside the doc/next directory in the main Go repo. This is documented in the "For developers" section of doc/README.md:
https://go.googlesource.com/go/+/HEAD/doc/#for-developers
At the end of the development cycle, the doc/next files will be merged into a single go1.23.md file, and all remaining edits will take place in it. This merge will be handled as part of the Go release process.
The previous issue was #61422.

I think 3c78ace24f3aa025a72b53be3b83423f9f24ee5d's changes are worth mentioning.
Comment From: ianlancetaylor
@jfrech Thanks, but the release notes are for changes that users need to know because they are new or because they will affect the way that programs work. We don't usually mention specific optimizations in the release notes, unless they affect the great majority of Go programs.

Rerunning relnote todo today doesn't find more TODOs beyond the 4 already added to the source (view-source:https\://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.23).

The Go 1.23 Release Notes draft is complete, and all known TODOs have been resolved. Running relnote todo right now doesn't find anything remaining beyond proposal #61940, which doesn't need to be mentioned. Adding okay-after-rc1.
This issue now tracks the remaining post-RC 1 work:
- any additional copy-editing and other improvements
- [x] merge fragments and move draft to x/website (CL 594035 + CL 594036)
- [ ] on the Go 1.23.0 release day, remove the draft notice
