 * Make sure to run and commit a pot-update (see above), and update to the latest revision of the branch if needed. At this point you should warn people to stop pushing commits to the branch you'll be using for the release so as to avoid last-minute work sync issues or new unexpected bugs.

-No API changes (e.g., Lua/WML interfaces or semantics) should be made during the beta/RC/stable stage, nor large-scale or destabilizing internal changes, nor build dependencies changed. That's true from "1.15.x (1.16 beta 1)" and for the rest of the 1.16.x releases too. Such changes should be made in 1.17.x for 1.18.
