ANN: eric 23.5 released

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi Mick,

you need to install the 'libxcb-cursor0' system package using your 
package manager. I think, Qt 6.5.0 introduced this additional dependency.

Note to all: This or something similar might be necessary on ther Linux 
systems as well.

Regards, Detlev
