=== Feature freeze ===
=== Feature freeze ===
When a Feature Freeze is scheduled, all new features have to be complete, reviewed and pushed to the repository. "Feature" should be interpreted as "Functionality" or "Ability". Bug fixes of existing features are not affected.
This allows developers to concentrate on refining the new features instead of adding yet more functionality.

=== UI Freeze ===
=== UI Freeze ===
When a UI Freeze is scheduled, major UI revisions or changes must be done before this date.
This encourages developers to focus on stability and bug-fixing rather than UI changes. At this point, documentation writers do not have to worry that their work will become outdated.

When a string freeze is scheduled, after the scheduleddate every string change has to be requested and to be approved. Please send an exception to the [http://lists.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/localization localization@lists.laptop.org localization list] and [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org] if you need to break the string freeze and ask for an exception. The localization team lead and two members of the release team need to approve such a break.

=== Stabilizing ===
When a stabilizing phase is scheduled, we request every bug fix to be tied to a ticket including a testing plan. Please add the testcase in the ticket comment field. You need to mark it with |TestCase|. This adds better readability and our script that pulls together the test cases for each release is able to find it as well. For example:

=== Hard code freeze ===
=== Hard code freeze ===
When the hard code freeze is in effect, each and every code change should be approved by the release team. Only critical fixes will be considered. To request approval send mail to sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org, including the patch and a detailed description of the changes, the benefits and the risks. Approval will have to be granted by two [[Development Team/Release/Contacts#People|members]] of the team.

=== Branching ===
After the final release of a module, a branch should be created to host further stable development. Please use a name in the form: sucrose-XXX (for example sucrose-0.84). Each module maintainer is responsible to inform the [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org] and [http://lists.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/localization localization@lists.laptop.org] lists about the branch.

A new branch is created on the Pootle server, e.g., Fructose-0.96 and Fructose-0.98. The Localization team (the coordinator of a translation team) may push translations to any or all of the corresponding branches of your project. Changes to your master branch are not necessarily intended for the release branches as well.
