String Freeze & Hard UI Freeze - Monday 9th February

[Piers Cornwell <piers myrealbox com>]

Hi all!

Just a quick heads up - string freeze and hard ui freeze (definitions 
below) is on Monday 9th Feb for the beta 1 release. I've retargeted a 
load of 1.2 bugs to 1.4 accordingly.

Hard Code freeze is on Monday February 23rd.

Full details at http://www.gnome.org/start/2.5/

Thanks,

from http://developer.gnome.org/dotplan/tasks.html#FreezeUiReview:

String Freeze

No string changes may be made without confirmation from the i18n team 
and notification to release team.

From this point, developers can concentrate on stability and 
bug-fixing. Translators can work without worrying that the original 
English strings will change, and documentation writers can take accurate 
screenshots.

UI Review Freeze

No UI changes may be made at all without confirmation from the release 
team. This usually happens at the same time as the String Freeze.
