<br>Hard Code Freeze<br><br>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 two approvals from the release team, but translation and documentation should continue. Simple build fixes are, of course, allowed without asking.<br>
