* CODENAME: PHOENIX (oZone)

* TIMELINE PLAN
=========================

*  Feature Freeze - Desktop and platform release module additions are finalised, major feature additions are listed. No new modules or features will be accepted for this release period. "Feature" should be interpreted as "Functionality" or "Ability". Bug fixes of existing features are not affected.
This allows developers to concentrate on refining the new features instead of adding yet more functionality.

* API/ABI Freeze - 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.

* UI Freeze - UI review period heats up. Changes to the user interface may only be made in response to UI review bugs (HIG compliance, consistency, etc). Major UI revisions or changes must be done before this date. You can still make string changes (e.g. changing a sentence in a window) before the String Freeze.
This encourages developers to focus on stability and bug-fixing rather than UI changes. At this point, documentation writers do not have to worry that their work will become outdated.

* 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.

* String Freeze - No string changes may be made without confirmation from the core 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.

* Hard Code Freeze - This is a late freeze to avoids sudden last-minute accidents which could risk the stability that should have been reached at this point. No source code changes are allowed without approval from the release team, but translation and documentation should continue. Simple build fixes are, of course, allowed without asking.
