 Corresponding branches in git are easy to recognize as they are named 
``cassandra-<release>`` (e.g. ``cassandra-3.0``). The ``trunk`` branch is an 
exception, as it contains the most recent commits from all other branches and 
is used for creating new branches for future tick-tock releases.
 
-Tick-Tock Releases

+4.0 Code Freeze
+"""""""""""""""
 
-New releases created as part of the `tick-tock release process 
<http://www.planetcassandra.org/blog/cassandra-2-2-3-0-and-beyond/>`_ will 
either focus on stability (odd version numbers) or introduce new features (even 
version numbers). Any code for new Cassandra features you should be based on 
the latest, unreleased 3.x branch with even version number or based on trunk.
+Patches for new features are currently not accepted for 4.0 or any earlier 
versions. Starting with the code freeze in September, all efforts should focus 
on stabilizing the 4.0 branch before the first official release. During that 
time, only the following patches will be considered for acceptance:
+
+ * Bug fixes
+ * Measurable performance improvements
+ * Changes not distributed as part of the release such as:
+ * Testing related improvements and fixes
+ * Build and infrastructure related changes
+ * Documentation
