The Code Freeze for the current Bioconductor 3.18 Release is scheduled for next Monday April 15, 2024. After this date there will be no changes to the code on this branch; this includes bug fixes or hot fixes. If your package is failing on the release build report, this weekend will be your last chance ever to update the code on RELEASE_3_18 branch of Bioconductor.

We appreciate everyone's' continued contributions to Bioconductor.

For clarification: Everyone can still commit changes to the devel branch for the upcoming Bioconductor 3.19 release. This freeze only applies to the RELEASE_3_18 branch. We ask that changes on the devel branch are limited to ERROR correction only; no API or major changes to packages as of today. The devel branch is now consider the release candidate branch for release 3.19.

Thank you.
