Re: [edk2-devel] [edk2-announce] Soft Feature Freeze will start on Feb 5th for edk2-stable202402

["Michael D Kinney" <michael.d.kinney@intel.com>]

Hello,

Just a reminder we are in a Soft Freeze and will enter Hard Freeze
on 2-9-2024.

https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II-Release-Planning

If there are any patches that started review before the soft freeze and
and have completed review and have not been merged, please respond to this
thread with the details so those can be merged before entering hard freeze.

If there are any changes that were sent during the soft freeze and must
be merged for the edk2-stable202402 release, then please make sure the
patch emails have [edk2-stable202402] in the subject line so those can
be reviewed by the stewards.

Thanks,

Mike
