This is a good question.
The feature freeze is meant to mean that no new features go into MediaPortal while we hunt for bugs.
I am honouring the feature freeze by not putting in new features, others are not, which makes me look like a mean old man.
Don't get me wrong, the guys that are putting in new features are doing great work and I'm sure they are being very careful not to introduce bugs, but I guess it depends on how strict people think the feature freeze should be.
I will discuss this with the other devs and see what comes of it ...
