+
+FieldTrip version [20230926](http://github.com/fieldtrip/fieldtrip/releases/tag/20230926) has been released. It has been a while (January 18, 2023) since we posted on a new release, but the FieldTrip team has not been sitting still. There have been several contributions and releases in the mean time with lots of improvements to the code. Below we highlight some of the code improvements thanks to contributions by [Syanah](https://github.com/SyanahWynn), [Konstantinos](https://github.com/contsili), [Yarek](https://github.com/yarikoptic), [Nir](https://github.com/NirOfir), [Arno](https://github.com/arnodelorme), [Robert Seymour](https://github.com/neurofractal), [Helena](https://github.com/helenacockx), [Andreas](https://github.com/awollbrink), [Jinbo](https://github.com/Jinboasltw), [Qianqian](https://github.com/fangq), and [Guillaume](https://github.com/gllmflndn).
