As per the release schedule, Stonking entered Feature Freeze on 2026-08-20.
Ideally, you should all now be focusing on bug fixing rather than getting new features into the release. However, if necessary, please follow the process for freeze exceptions: https://ubuntu.com/project/docs/release-team/freeze-exceptions/ Additionally, please file your Feature Freeze Exceptions within the next week so that the Release Team has visibility into further changes to the release and can make a preliminary review of the exception requests. As is customary, packages that were uploaded before the Feature Freeze deadline but are stuck in -proposed remain candidates for fixing between now and release day. Remember that version strings do not matter for Feature Freeze. If you upload a new upstream release and it has no new features, then you do not need an exception. If you add a quilt patch that adds a new feature or enable a new feature via build flags, then you do. Happy bug squashing!
