−
* the first product release of Slicer3 is scheduled for the AHM in January of 2008
 
−
* there will be a code freeze on Nov. 15 2007
 
−
** if you want your module to be part of Slicer3.0 submit it by then
 
−
** After that date, we will only accept bug fixes. It means that there will be no features added after the freeze in the main trunk.
 
−
 
 
−
** Any people working on new features can do so in their own branch and they will be responsible for merging these back into the trunk after the freeze is lifted (at which point the release will be in a maintenance branch).
