code freeze
No more changes
A code freeze is a period during software development when no new changes are allowed to the codebase, typically imposed before a major release to stabilize the product and allow thorough testing.
Teams may still fix critical bugs, but new features wait until after the freeze lifts: We're in code freeze until the launch next week.
