'Feature Cooling'

[Dave]

In our progression toward 1.0, I want to enter a stage of 'feature cooling', while will progress toward feature freeze.

As part of this, I am now announcing that non-trivial user-contributed patches that add features to the game will have any consideration delayed until after version 1.0.

I suggest that any coders who want to help out should turn their attention to submitting patches which fix bugs. In fact, submitting patches that fix bugs is generally a very good way to gain the confidence of the Wesnoth development team

Also, the Wesnoth development team will try to slow the number of features that are added to the game, in preparation for release.

Would you make an exception if some user came up with a really good fog-AI patch? (Not that I plan to make one...)

the perfect is the enemy of the good.
the very good could side either way I suppose

Any 'really good' patch could lead to an exception.

But then if I met a unicorn it could lead to an exception too....
