Changelog and the installers for Octane Standalone are here:
OctaneRender Standalone

Important: if using macOS, we strongly recommend that you update to version 13.3. Prior to 13.3, there is an OS related issue that causes a render failure consistently if you render for long periods of time.

Changes since version 22.11:

• Fixed a bug: max-samples override command line key did not work in batch mode.

NOTE: There is a regression/bug in the 2023.1.2 engine's scene-export functionality. Thus the animated scene export with embedded alembic may not always work in this release. Should be fixed later. Stick to 22.10 as a workaround if animated export with embedded alembic is needed.

NOTE: The macOS libs in Octane 2023.1.2 SDK are not signed, thus this plugin version is not Apple-notarized.

NOTE: Directional light in current 2023.1 Standalone is not affected by its parent transform rotation at all. This is why you can only rotate this light in Maya by a transform node connected to this light-node's "Transform" plug. At least for current Octane engine version...

I'm really interested in testing to see if 2023 1.3 has fixed animated scene export with embedded alembic. Any timeframe for when you'll release the Maya plugin for 1.3?
