These are the Talking Points for the Fedora 25 release. For information on how these talking points were chosen, see Talking Points SOP. They are intended to help Ambassadors quickly present an overview of highlighted features when talking about the release, and to help drive content for the release, etc.
The talking points are based in part on the Change Set for this release.
Overall Release Story
Fedora-Wide Changes and Improvements
- Docker updated to version 1.12
- Support for weaker certificate authorities (i.e. 1024-bit) has been removed
- Node.js updated to version 6.x
- New and great version of the popular server-side JavaScript engine
Fedora Cloud
Terms of interest: Fedora Atomic, Fedora Open Shift Playground, Docker, Kubernetes, Ansible
Perhaps most useful for typical Fedora user is to know where can use these, what can use these for and how to migrate from desktop experience to running own services on a hosting platform or their own server.

Fedora Server
Cockpit
- SELinux Troubleshooter module: Cockpit now has a SELinux Troubleshooter module similar to Fedora Workstation
- If system encounters an SELinux denial, will display information about the issue as well as suggestions for correcting the issue if it was unexpected
- Without the module, an administrator has to notice a denial occurred, dig through log files for the denial, and search for workarounds – the SELinux Troubleshooter presents information clearly and to the point all from the convenience of Cockpit
- Displays host SSH keys in the system dashboard: Easy to see and understand what SSH keys are added to the system for connecting to the machine
- Includes support for network teaming, Docker volume and storage management as well as the creation of systemd timer units
- Supports multi-step (incl. 2FA) authentication
Fedora Workstation
- Wayland improvements (might be Wayland by Default, TBD)
- Improved Flatpak support in the Software tool
- Early preview of OStree based Workstation
