v2.3.0

[Behavior Change Release]
This release changes how variant values represented as json strings are ingested into semi-structured columns (variant, object, array) if they contain numeric values. Starting with release 2.3.0, numeric values preserve their format, no conversion to and from scientific notation is happening anymore.
