Re: [edk2-devel] Soft Feature Freeze starts now for edk2-stable202502

Hi Liming,

The Milestone "edk2-stable202502" has been added for PRs, so 
any PR that should be considered for this release should be 
tagged with that Milestone.  That will make it easier to track 
progress through the soft and hard freeze to know when all 
PRs targeted for this release are either merged or closed.

Thanks,

Mike

Subject: Soft Feature Freeze starts now for edk2-stable202502

Hi, all

  We enter into Soft Feature Freeze phase now. In this phase,
the feature under review will not be allowed to be pushed. The feature
passed review can still be merged.

  The patch review can continue without break in edk2 community. If the
patch is under review process, and plans to catch this stable tag, the
patch contributor need to send the request in edk2 mail list. If the patch 
is submitted after Soft Feature Freeze, and plans to catch this stable tag,
Please send the request in edk2 mail list and notify edk2 community, so the
community know this patch target and give the feedback.

  To avoid the unnecessary changes to be merged in edk2 stable tag release,
all edk2 maintainers' write access will be temporarily disabled until stable
tag is released on 02-21. That means edk2 maintainer can't set push label in
pull request after soft feature freeze starts.

  If the change wants to catch this stable tag 202502, please follow above
rules, then send the pull request to mailto:gaoliming@byosoft.com.cn or 
mailto:michael.d.kinney@intel.com.

  We will help merge the code change in soft feature freeze and hard feature
freeze phase. 

Below is edk2-stable202502 tag planning Proposed Schedule
Date (00:00:00 UTC-8) Description
2024-11-22 Beginning of development
