v3.2.3 (2024-01-12)

Happy 2024 with a new faker-ruby release.

This version includes bug fixes, docs typos fixes, and some changes on the contributing guides.

faker-ruby is is not accepting new features proposals

As we discussed here, we want to improve faker's performance and organization. There hasn't been to many bug reports and most of the open issues are related to performance and confusion around using faker.

As we have limited time to invest in faker, reviewing new generators and locales prevent us from focusing on the big picture work. With this decision, we hope to make the necessary changes for faker to go to the next level. Please read the Contributing guides for ways to help us get there.
