We are now in feature freeze, as of the end of Friday. No new features should be committed to xen.git#staging. You may continue to commit straightforward bugfixes, docs changes, and new tests, without a release-ack. Anything involving reorganisation or refactoring should get a release ack. If in doubt please ask me and I will grant (or withhold) permission. Codefreeze will occur on the 12th of February as planned. As a reminder, here is the release schedule: (unchanged information indented with spaces): Friday 15th January Last posting date Patches adding new features should be posted to the mailing list by this cate, although perhaps not in their final version. Friday 29th January Feature freeze Patches adding new features should be committed by this date. Straightforward bugfixes may continue to be accepted by maintainers. + Friday 12th February Code freeze Bugfixes only, all changes to be approved by the Release Manager. Week of 12th March **tentative** Release (probably Tuesday or Wednesday) Any patches containing substantial refactoring are to treated as new features, even if they intent is to fix bugs. Freeze exceptions will not be routine, but may be granted in exceptional cases for small changes on the basis of risk assessment. Large series will not get exceptions. Contributors *must not* rely on getting, or expect, a freeze exception. New or improved tests (supposing they do not involve refactoring, even build system reorganisation), and documentation improvements, will generally be treated as bugfixes. The release dates is provisional and will be adjusted in the light of apparent code quality etc. Thanks, Ian.
