Maybe you didn't read the post, but generally a feature freeze in software=
 development is some time were no new features are added so a code base can=
 stabilise=2E This usually happens just before a release=2E These periods a=
re really important as they allow for 3rd party tools, documentation, etc t=
o be ready when a piece of software is released=2E On top of that, this per=
iod can also be used by users to make sure everything is stable, and that t=
here are no critical bugs=2E=20
