Zesty Zapus (to be 17.04) feature freeze

Hi Developers, Zesty will be enter Feature Freeze at 21:00 UTC tonight. Ideally you will all now be focusing on bug fixing and not on getting new features into the release. For example, zesty-proposed contains a lot of backed up items currently. The sponsorship queue is a bit large and contains some very old items. If you help to work on these then we'll be able to put out a decent release in a couple of months. As always, if you want to seek an exception to land your cool new feature, then please follow the process: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess This was in the last announcement too, but it's worth saying again: version strings don't matter for Feature Freeze. If you upload a new upstream release and it has no new features than you don't need an exception. If you add a debian/patch that adds a new feature, or enable one via build flags then you do. We care about the content of the archive, not exactly how things got there. Go forth and fix, -- Iain Lane [ iain at orangesquash.org.uk ] Debian Developer [ laney at debian.org ] Ubuntu Developer [ laney at ubuntu.com ] -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
