Since 1.23.0.rc3: 95 files changed, 1482 insertions(+), 822 deletions(-) ...and waiting on the post-1.23.0 branch, some or all of which will be merged to master before the final 1.23.0 tag: 28 files changed, 8131 insertions(+), 250 deletions(-) (Russian and Spanish localizations are the bulk of that.) So, yeah, hard to argue.

The SHA-256 checksum is encoded in Base64 instead of the hexadecimal
form that most checksum tools default to. The mechanism follows.
-sha256sum < groff-1.23.0.tar.gz | cut -f1 -d\ | xxd -r -p | base64
+sha256sum < groff-1.23.0.rc4.tar.gz | cut -f1 -d\ | xxd -r -p | base64
