Hello, until now we have asked developers to hold off their patches during the final week of the release cycle, while QA tests the various canary releases to determine the best branch point. This was pointed out to be ineffective and against the idea of "developers keep working on master undisturbed" that the release process is supposed to facilitate.
Therefore we are doing the following changes starting with Crosswalk 7: * No more "code freeze" in Canary * The branch always happens at the fixed date indicated in https://crosswalk-project.org/#wiki/Release-dates * By the end of 4th week of the release cycle we finalize what features are in scope of the next Beta and need to be verified by QA Note that we will not rush in PRs at the last minute (i.e. last week) before the branch with the rationale that they must be part of the release. If they had to, they should have been submitted earlier. We will however ask owners to prioritize reviews related to features in scope of the release.
