[asterisk-dev] Asterisk 15 Feature Freeze Deadline is Today

[Matt Fredrickson]

Hello Everyone,

As you may recall from my reminder, today is the last day that you can
submit a code level contribution in gerrit and have it included in the
first version of Asterisk 15. Historically we have been lenient as to
the definition of when "today" ends, but generally speaking it will be
tonight at 12:00 AM (CDT). Get your contributions in soon!

As you may recall from last year's announcement [1], feature freeze
means something slightly different now than it did previously.  The
primary difference is that generally, new contributions can be
accepted in release branches of Asterisk, but with the stipulation
that tests be submitted which exercise any new features.  The
difference for tonight's deadline is that any contributions against
master prior to the end of today will not necessitate tests to be
included - although having them always makes a contribution much more
maintainable.

Asterisk 15 is already looking like it will be an exciting release for
Asterisk, but would definitely not be so without all the many
community contributors that are involved with the project on a regular
basis.  Thanks so much again for all of you who give of your extra
time to help make it the great project that it is!

Best wishes to all, and personally looking forward to seeing a first
release of Asterisk 15 in the next few months.
