Working on VERSION
For a major release, announce a string freeze on the ''gramps-devel'' mailing list and on Weblate.
This will usually be about 2 weeks before the release date.
 
In the ''Program'' component on Weblate, select "Manage⟶Post announcement" from the menu. Enter an ''Expiry date'' the day before the release date, and select the ''Notify users'' checkbox to send a notification to all subscribed users.
