Fedora 18 Accepted Features

These features have been accepted by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee for the Fedora 18 Release.

Category:FeatureAcceptedF18

% Complete Name Summary Updated
100% 256 Color Terminals Enable terminal programs to use the enhanced color capabilities of modern terminals by default. I.E. increase their color options from the 8 colors at the top of this picture, to the other 256 displayed. 2012-10-08
100% Active Directory Fedora should be able to be used on an Active Directory domain (or other kerberos realms, such as IPA) out of the box. It should be easy to configure domain logins on a Fedora machine, and then it should be intuitive and uneventful to login with those credentials. 2012-10-09
100% Agent Free Management The goal of this feature is the substitute some of the important functionality of the systems management software that is usually installed on the operating system by a native implementation. This will also put existing standards already in use by Service Processors like IPMI and WSMAN to better use. 2012-09-17
100% Avahi by Default on the Desktop Fedora should work out of the box discovering MDNS shared printers and other MDNS devices. The system should not publish any private information via MDNS by default, but MDNS should be available for device discovery by default for the Desktop install of Fedora. 2012-10-22
100% Boost 1.50 Update Boost to the upstream (latest) 1.50 release. 2012-10-07
100% CIM Management WBEM and CIM are two of the DMTF standards for enterprise system management. Fedora already contains implementation of the standard but the existing capabilities are focused more on system monitoring. The standards allow to add methods for system management as well. The goal is to implement new CIM providers and extend the existing ones to enable the basic system management capabilities. The implementation should adhere to the standards to allow for easier interoperability with other CIM/WBEM based applications. The feature is targeting system administrators and experienced users and should lay base ground for future development of enterprise-level management infrastructure for Fedora. 2012-10-15
100% Clojure Addition of Clojure tooling packages to Fedora, including the Leinengen build tool and its configuration to use the system Maven repository, as well as Clojure libraries and frameworks, including Korma and Noir. 2012-10-16
100% Display Manager Infrastructure Rework We'd like to remove the prefdm logic. Instead we propose to use systemd's own symlink management to select a display manager. 2012-10-01
100% DNF and Hawkey Provide hawkey, a new package management library built on top of libsolv. Preview the next-generation Yum package manager, using hawkey/libsolv for backend. 2012-08-06
100% D Programming Update D environment. 2012-10-30
100% DragonEgg DragonEgg is a gcc plugin that replaces GCC's optimizers and code generators with those from the LLVM project. 2012-06-10
100% Dwarf Compressor Reduce size of *.debug files in debuginfo packages in Fedora 18 using DWARF Compressor dwz. 2012-07-18
