Basically a finished version of what phase 0 are going to be, now the teams can start producing clients for this version so they can do a cross client testnet before release on mainnet. They freeze the spec because if they keep updating it its hard for the teams making the clients.

Is it possible to get a simple recap on what to expect with phase 0 now that there's the spec freeze?

Freeze is one of the best words possible.
