+ The GNU C Library version 2.23 in Fedora will no longer provide a POSIX Realtime library that is based solely around the Linux Kernel Asynchronous IO interfaces (<systemitem>librtkaio</systemitem>). Instead, the binary compatible POSIX Realtime library (<systemitem>librt</systemitem>) will be used for all applications. Applications expecting <systemitem>librtkaio</systemitem> may experience a performance degradation and it is suggested they upgrade to <systemitem>libaio</systemitem>. A compatibility symlink is being provided for this release to ensure a smooth transition; however, this symlink may be removed in future releases.
