The term '''branch off''' or '''branch off date''' is used by release engineers and release managers of OOo. With this term they want to identify the date when the release code-line is split from the general developer code line (see the picture). Until the '''branch off''' features, enhancements and general integrations can be done on the development code line. But it is important to be finalize all implementations until this date. This means features, enhancements and general integrations must be completed. On the release code-line only [[stopper]] issues are excepted. This should stabilize until builds/milestones until the release. General development can be done on the development code-line (DEV300).

Meaning

The term branch off or branch off date is used by release engineers and release managers of OOo. With this term they want to identify the date when the release code-line is split from the general developer code-line (see the picture). Until the branch off features, enhancements and general integrations can be done on the development code-line. But it is important to finish all implementations until this date. This means that the respective CWSs with the features, enhancements and general integrations must be integrated before the branch off. On the release code-line only stopper and blocker issues are excepted. Further builds/milestones will stabilize the code-line until the final release. General development is then going on with development code-line (DEV300).
