gimp-2-8 branch string freeze till 2016-10-27

Hi,

I'm announcing a string freeze for the gimp-2-8 branch till 2016-10-27 to give the translation teams time to update the translations for a GIMP 2.8.20 release.

The corresponding mail to the gnome-i18n list is available at https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2016-October/msg00035.html

During a string freeze, any changes to or addition of translated strings is a no-go. See
https://wiki.gnome.org/TranslationProject/HandlingStringFreezes for details (but ignore the mention of specific GNOME branches there).

Patches without changes or additions of translatable strings can go into the gimp-2-8 branch during this time frame. Everything else will have to wait until the release is made, if at all: In general, string changes should be kept to the absolute minimum in the stable branch.

This does also apply to cherry-picking commits from e.g. master - if there is an important bug fix with a string change, check if you can apply just the fix to gimp-2-8.

It is also a good idea to mark any bug in Bugzilla by the "string" keyword if it alters strings in any way.

Regards,
Michael
