A Fedora Core 4 proto-schedule is available at:
http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/schedule/
Generally, it's 3 4-week test releases, with a release in early/mid May.
So, what's planned for Fedora Core 4? Here's what we're looking
at from the Red Hat side of things:
- GCC 4, if it's ready
We're not planning on holding for it, but if it's out in a
reasonable time, sure. Failing that, we're looking at making
more of the FORTIFY_SOURCE and other gcc & glibc security extensions
integrated, if at all possible.
How will this affect backwards compat?
- The usual new stuff - GNOME 2.10, KDE 3.4, Xorg 6.8.2,
OpenOffice 2.0 (maybe), etc.
Ooh... OO 2 would be great! :) Any plans for gnome 2.10? Where?
- Xen and Virtualization
This starts by integrating the Xen kernel stuff, and going
from there.
Hmm.. Xen is quite similar to VMWare, or am i totaly wrong?
- SELinux Episode III: Revenge of the AVC
Yet more targets in the targeted policy.
- Faster boot
Eliminating redundancy and old cruft in the bootup process,
starting GDM early if possible, using newer and faster
udev codebases, and other related tweaks.
Hum-di-dum :)
- Java
More native-compiled GCJ stuff. Including Eclipse.
Compitability? Effect on OpenOffice?
- Package management
GUI integration of system-config-packages, yum, and friends.
:D:D:D
- more networking changes
Further integration of NetworkManager
:)
- PPC support
For your brand spanking new MiniMac, or the p655 under your
desk.
- Extras at launch time. Or else.
Hopefully, self explanatory. Could coincide with the move
of some bits from Core to Extras. In fact, some of the
stuff on this list of features may *be* in Extras.
Great!
Probably other stuff that I'm forgetting in here. I'm sure
more people can remind me.

What about better lingua support - being able to post-installation
install more languages, dont have all of those damn spellcheckers i dont
need (but have the ones i need) installed in OO etc.?
All in all, this was a lot more than i hoped for. Now i almost have an
exuse for updating this thrusty old fc2 box :)
