In order to avoid invalidating the testing we get out of late Nightly
and to ensure that we can roll out Beta 73 to a wider audience with
confidence, we'd like to ask that any risky changes be avoided from January 2 until after the version bump</div>
to 74 on January 6.<br>
<br>
Some reminders for the soft code freeze period:<br>
<br>
Do:<br>
- Be ready to back out patches that cause crash spikes, new crashes, severe regressions<br>
- Monitor new regressions and escalate merge blockers<br>
- Support release management by prioritizing fixing of merge blockers<br>
<br>
Do Not:<br>
- Land a risky patch or a large patch<br>
- Land new features (that affect the current Nightly version) — be
mindful that code behind NIGHTLY_BUILD or RELEASE_OR_BETA ifdefs can
lead to unexpected CI results<br>
- Flip prefs that enable new Features that were untested in the Nightly cycle<br>
- Plan to kick off new experiments that might impact a feature's merge readiness<br>
<br>
Please let us know if you have any questions/concerns.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Liz & the release management team</div><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div>----<br></div>Liz Henry (:lizzard)<br></div><div>Firefox Release Manager<br></div><a href="mailto:lhenry@mozilla.com" target="_blank">lhenry@mozilla.com</a><br></div></div></div></div></div>
