API/ABI Freeze, Release Team decides on new modules

[Release Team <release-team gnome org>]

Hello all,

We would like to inform you about the following:
* API/ABI Freeze
* Release Team decides on new modules


No API or ABI changes should be made in the platform libraries. For
instance, no new functions, no changed function signatures or struct
fields.  This provides a stable development platform for the rest of
the schedule.  There should usually be a "Slushy" API/ABI Freeze
before the Hard API/ABI Freeze, to encourage developers to think about
API problems while they have a chance to correct them.  API freeze is
not required for non-platform libraries, but is recommended.
