Hello all,
String freeze begins on 2025-02-22 at 23:59 UTC. No string changes may be made without confirmation from the i18n team.
From this point, developers can concentrate on stability and bugfixing. Translators can work without worrying that the original English strings will change, and documentation writers can take accurate screenshots. [[Freezes - GNOME Project Handbook of the string freeze]]
For more information about the schedule for GNOME 48,
please see the release calendar.
Thanks,
GNOME Release Team
