Neither this page nor the original announcement say what string freeze means. Am I the weird one for having never heard this term despite shipping a lot of software? Is it like a freeze of strings to be translated to various languages for the UI i.e. effectively a feature freeze?
- mrastro 2y agoFirst time hearing this too. IIUC, it's preventing changes to text strings in the product that would require translation from the various language teams (per: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Software_String_Freeze_Policy https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Software_String_Freeze_Policy). I don't understand why they stagger the freezes for the translation and the binary development, I assume it's to still allow for last-minute big fixes to make it in before the final release cut?
