Fedora Release Notes Beats

Content in the beats may be derived from bugzilla reports and mailing list discussions.

Each beat has one or more beat writers, as assigned on the release notes beats page. The beat writer(s) are in charge of the beat pages. These pages are open for all to contribute. If you know something that should be in the release notes, this is the place to put it.

Read DocsProject/Writing_Using_The_Wiki before editing Release Notes pages. This ensures that you write content we can convert into DocBook for the published Release Notes.

Writers can learn about how this works on the Docs/Beats/HowTo page.

The page Docs/Beats uses a Wiki include that pulls in the content from the separate beat pages. The actual beat page is located at Docs/Beats/Beatname.

The current version we are writing for is Fedora Final.

Interested in contributing? Read DocsProject/Join.

Below are all the beats on one page. Use the links from the Table of Contents above to go directly to beat pages.

Package Notes

The following sections contain information regarding software packages that have undergone significant changes for Fedora 11. For easier access, they are generally organized using the same groups that are shown in the installation system.

Input Methods

In ibus-libpinyin, press "Ctrl-Shift-d" to remove the remembered user phrase; and in double pinyin mode, press "I" to use lua script extension.
XKB option ISO_Level3_Shift key is not available in control-center Keyboard panel, one needs to use 'gnome-tweak-tool' to enable 3rd level chooser key.
ibus moved the emoji feature from IBus XKB engines to IBus GTK panel:

The shortcut key Ctrl-⇧ Shift-e can be customized with ibus-setup
The language of emoji annotation can be selected with ibus-setup besides English
The emoji font can be selected with ibus-setup (You might like Noto Color Emoji font)
All IBus engines can use the emoji feature from the panel
The emoji dialog can output emojis with keyboard without mouse for CLI users
Now Ctrl-⇧ Shift-e is available in non-GNOME desktops since GNOME uses the own panel indicator instead of IBus GTK panel
ibus emoji command is available for GNOME desktop and the shortcut of the command can be registered with gnome-control-center by manual

How are Things for Developers

GHC 7.10

The GHC Hakell compiler has been updated to version 7.10 in Fedora 25. Haskell packages in Fedora have been rebuilt with the new compiler, and third party Haskell projects should also be rebuilt.

The latest stable version of GHC provides many improvements and enhancements. For details, refer to the upstream release notes:

KDE 3 Development Platform / Libraries

TBD

What Do System Administrators Care About

storaged replaces udisks2

The udisks2 package provides dynamic storage management functionality to legacy Fedora systems. Most prominently, desktop environments like GNOME udisks to handle removable media, such as USB thumb drives, via a dbus interface.

Because udisks2 does not support more complex storage technologies such as LVM or iSCSI, it is being replaced in Fedora 25 by storaged, an enhanced fork of the udisks project. storaged is a drop-in replacement for udisks2, and the additional functionality allows administrators to use software like Cockpit in Fedora Server to manage these advanced storage resources.

Detailed information on the storaged project is available from the upstream site at https://storaged.org .

Package Changes

This list is automatically generated
This list is automatically generated. It is not a good choice for translation.

This list is generated for the release and posted on the wiki only. It is made using the repodiff utility from the yum-utils package, ran as repodiff --old=<base URL of the old SRPMS repository> --new=<base URL of the new SRPMS repository>.

For a list of which packages were updated since the previous release, refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/PackageChanges/UpdatedPackages. You can also find a comparison of major packages between all Fedora versions at http://distrowatch.com/fedora.

Fedora Project

The goal of the Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community to build a complete, general-purpose operating system exclusively from free and open source software. The Fedora Project is driven by the individuals that contribute to it. As a tester, developer, documenter, or translator, you can make a difference. Refer to http://join.fedoraproject.org for details. For information on the channels of communication for Fedora users and contributors, refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate.

In addition to the website, the following mailing lists are available:

fedora-list@redhat.com, for users of Fedora releases
fedora-test-list@redhat.com, for testers of Fedora test releases
fedora-devel-list@redhat.com, for developers, developers, developers
fedora-docs-list@redhat.com, for participants of the Documentation Project

To subscribe to any of these lists, send an email with the word "subscribe" in the subject to <listname>-request, where <listname> is one of the above list names. Alternately, you can subscribe to Fedora mailing lists through the Web interface at http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/.

The Fedora Project also uses several IRC (Internet Relay Chat) channels. IRC is a real-time, text-based form of communication, similar to Instant Messaging. With it, you may have conversations with multiple people in an open channel, or chat with someone privately one-on-one. To talk with other Fedora Project participants via IRC, access the Libera.chat IRC network. Refer to the Libera.chat website at https://libera.chat/ for more information.

Fedora Project participants frequent the #fedora^[?] channel, while Fedora Project developers may often be found on the #fedora-devel^[?] channel. Some of the larger projects may have their own channels as well. This information may be found on the webpage for the project, and at Communicate.

In order to talk on the #fedora^[?] channel, you need to register your nickname, or nick. Instructions are given when you /join the channel.

IRC Channels
The Fedora Project and Red Hat have no control over the Fedora Project IRC channels or their content.

Colophon

As we use the term, a colophon:

recognizes contributors and provides accountability, and
explains tools and production methods.

Production Methods

Beat writers produce the release notes directly on the Fedora Project Wiki. They collaborate with other subject matter experts during the test release phase of Fedora to explain important changes and enhancements. The editorial team ensures consistency and quality of the finished beats, and ports the Wiki material to DocBook XML in a revision control repository. At this point, the team of translators produces other language versions of the release notes, and then they become available to the general public as part of Fedora. The publication team also makes them, and subsequent errata, available via the Web.
