Hi all,

Today is an important day on the Fedora 25 schedule[1], with two significant cut-offs.

Today is the Beta freeze[2]. This means that only packages which fix accepted blocker or freeze exception bugs[3][4] will be marked as 'stable' and included in the Beta composes. Other builds will remain in updates-testing until the Beta release is approved, at which point the Beta freeze is lifted and packages can move to 'stable' as usual until the Final freeze.

Finally, Today is the '100% code complete deadline' Change Checkpoint[5], meaning that Fedora 24 Changes must now be code complete, meaning all the code required to enable to the new change is finished. The level of code completeness is reflected as tracker bug state ON_QA. The change does not have to be fully tested by this deadline'.

Regards

Mohan Boddu
