(2019/03/08) 在硬性功能凍結之後，git 裡的主分支不再開放給一般性開發。直到下一個穩定版標籤之前，僅僅臭蟲修正將被同意。

(這定義被模組化在 QEMU 的 硬性功能凍結 之後)

通告硬性功能凍結

對主動開發循環的建議時間表被展示在 EDK II 發布計畫 文章裡。在硬性功能凍結之前不久，一個通告電子郵件被寄送給 edk2-devel 郵件列表。 這通告被在 EDK II 發行 章節裡名列 Maintainer.txt 的維護者之一來公布。

原文

After the hard feature freeze, the master branch in git is no longer open for general development. Only bug fixes will be accepted until the next stable tag.

(This definition is modeled after QEMU's hard feature freeze).

Announcing the hard feature freeze

The proposed schedule for the active development cycle is shown in the EDK II Release Planning article. Shortly before the hard feature freeze, an announcement email is sent to the edk2-devel mailing list. The announcement is posted by one of the maintainers that are listed in Maintainers.txt, in section EDK II Releases.
