String Freeze is now in effect, as well as Hard Freeze. This means no changes will be taken that change any translatable strings. Bug fix patches will still be considered, but only if they're completely safe; patches should be extremely minimal, reviewed by more than one person, and well-tested. Nothing that looks even slightly risky, uncertain, or unfinished please, but I'll consider on a case by case basis, so give me a ping to take a look.
== Translations ==
With String Freeze in effect, no string changes in code are permitted and translations can now be completed. Please finalize your work prior to Monday, Feb 13th.
== Future Releases ==
It's my fault we're running about a week past-schedule (I was trying to fit the dpi dialog work in before the cutoff, but that patch needs a bit more attention.) So I'd like to bump the schedule back by one week to make up for it:
Proposed Timing:
Original New Date √ Mon Jan 2 Feature Freeze √ 0.92.1pre0 Mon Jan 23 Hard Freeze √ 0.92.1pre1 Mon Jan 30 Fri Feb 3 String Freeze 0.92.1pre2 Mon Feb 6 Mon Feb 13 Release Candidate 0.92.1 Fri Feb 10 Fri Feb 17 Cut Release Mon Feb 13 Mon Feb 20 Announcement
Looking forward, point releases on the 0.92.x branch will continue onward, including after we've migrated to git. I am thinking a cadence of a couple months per point release seems to be about the right balance of time, so that'd put 0.92.2 in the April timeframe and 0.92.3 out around July.
Further forward, we discussed 0.93 a bit today. I know there's lots of work still to be done to get trunk to a releasable state. I would like to start gathering status on it, to get a better feel for about when we can start planning the release. I'll be posting more about this later, but for now if you have work in process in trunk, I'd love to hear of your plans.
Thanks, Bryce
