Hi all,

Just wanted to remind you that, as with GNOME 41, we now have two weeks 
between .rc and the .0 release in order to allow some time to fix bugs 
discovered in the .rc release, which was tough to do with just one week 
there. So there is still a couple more days before it's time to start 
making .0 tarballs. If you forgot and made .0 tarballs early (I almost 
did this myself), that's fine, but please consider doing a .1 release 
for the benefit of any translations that come in between your .0 
tarball and the translation deadline. This soft translation deadline is 
our way to help translators ensure their work is included in GNOME 42.0.

If you've discovered bugs that you want to fix for .0, release team is 
approving most freeze exceptions at 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Releng/freeze-breaks/-/issues.
