Re: edk2-stable201905 features and soft/hard freeze and release date

["Liming Gao" <liming.gao@intel.com>]

Hi, all
  Now, we are still in soft feature freeze. 201905 stable tag depends on openssl 1.1.1 update, openssl 1.1.1 depends on ArmSoftFloatLib update, ArmSoftFloatLib depends on the discussion of contribution of code licensed. Once the conclusion is made, I will send the mail to announce the hard feature freeze. I may reduce the hard feature freeze period so that we can create 201905 stable tag as early as possible. Thank you for your cooperation and patience.

  Below is the status of current dependency. 
 Openssl 1.1.1 patch https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/topic/patch_v5_0_9_crypto/31832279?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate%2Fsticky,,,20,2,20,31832279, Reviewed-by Wang, Jian

 contribution of code licensed https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/41639?p=,,,20,0,0,0::Created,,contribution,20,2,0,31823110, under discussion.
