It meant to refer to trunk and release branch. Other branches are free to carry on. However, don't take "code-freeze" too literally. We should define what it means. I reckon that it means no new functionality, because that could introduce new bugs. Doing bug fixing if they are substantial bugs. What else? Does the cleanup of the sitemaps qualify? If done carefully, then probably okay. WDOT? --David > >We create the release candidates for both Windows and UNIX on > >this day and start the vote.
