This document outlines getting in new features after a new branch has been cut and the process for getting a PR
merged in before and after the first public release.

# Feature Freeze

One week before a release, the release branch goes into a state of code freeze. At this point only critical release
blocking bugs are addressed. Additional changes that are targeted for new features and capabilities will not be merged.

	serviceReloadDynamic                      // Reload dynamic config values.
	serviceFreeze                             // Freeze all S3 API calls.
	serviceUnFreeze                           // Un-Freeze previously frozen S3 API calls.
	// Add new service requests here.

//   - Server needs to be restarted 'mc admin service restart'
//   - 'freeze' should be set to 'false' for this call
