If you want Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) to add your favorite features, you have to hurry up. By Thursday of this week, the Ubuntu version under development will not accept any changes.

Function freeze mainly involves developers and maintainers of a single software package. Steve Langasek wrote in the Ubuntu Announce List that all major changes must be completed in the source code by Wednesday at the latest. Software Package changes that occur after the deadline must be written to files in the form of bugs during release.

In just a few days before the freeze, Ubuntu developers have been arguing over the issue of Pidhin. In Ubuntu 9.10, Empathy replaced the free instant messaging software Pidgin, which did not satisfy all Ubuntu users. The latest version of Pidgin has added support for Webcam, which is far behind Empathy in the past. Therefore, there may still be a slight change on Thursday, and Pidgin may still act as the default IM client as previously.
