6. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) |
freeze
v.
To lock an evolving software distribution or document against changes so it
can be released with some hope of stability. Carries the strong implication
that the item in question will ?unfreeze? at some future date. ?OK, fix
that bug and we'll freeze for release.? There are more specific
constructions on this term. A feature freeze, for example, locks out
modifications intended to introduce new features but still allows bugfixes
and completion of existing features; a code freeze connotes no more changes
at all. At Sun Microsystems and elsewhere, one may also hear references to
code slush ? that is, an almost-but-not-quite frozen state.
