== Feature freeze ==

No new modules or features will be accepted for this release period. "Feature" should be interpreted as "Functionality" or "Ability". Bug fixes of existing features are not affected.

The feature freeze affects all the modules included in the release and comprise also ~~strings and~~ ABI for public libraries. Exceptions might be considered by the release team but they will be extremely rare. To request an exception send mail to [http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org], referencing the patches you would like to land. It will have to be granted by two [[Development Team/Release/Contacts|members]] of the release team, on the base of community feedback. For string changes please also copy [http://lists.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/localization localization@lists.laptop.org]. As soon as the change is committed in git, notify the localization list about it.

This allows developers to concentrate on refining the new features instead of adding yet more functionality.
