* I18N support is much improved by the presence the SCIM input methods, which now work after installation automatically without any configuration. SCIM can handle nearly every alphabet/set of characters in use. Fedora is now much more reachable to a wider audience by the default inclusion of a number of language packages and input methods in the GNOME based Live CD.

=== exim-sa ===
- The `exim-sa` package is deprecated since Fedora Extras 6. It was the original implementation of SpamAssassin integration with Exim, and was functionally similar to sendmail 'milters' or postfix filters. However, that functionality is rather limited, and Exim now has far better support for content checking, fully integrated into its general-purpose Access Control Lists.

However, that functionality is rather limited, and Exim now has far better support for content checking, fully integrated into its general-purpose Access Control Lists.
Since the {{{sa_exim}}} feature was not enabled in the default configuration, the package can normally be safely uninstalled to allow Exim to be upgraded. Users who have modified their configuration to use {{{sa_exim}}} features should either reconfigure to use Exim's full content scanning abilities or rebuild the package for themselves to include the `exim-sa` subpackage. For further details on Exim's built-in content scanning, refer to the Exim documentation:

- <h2>Fedora Legacy - Community Maintenance Project</h2>}}}
- The Fedora Legacy Project was a community-supported open source project to extend the lifecycle of select "maintenance mode" Red Hat Linux and Fedora Core distributions. The current model for supporting maintenance distributions has been re-examined. Fedora Legacy was unable to extend support to older Fedora Core releases as it had planned. As of now, Fedora Core 4 and earlier distributions are no longer being maintained. Fedora Core 5 will no longer be maintained 30 days after the Fedora [[GetVal(DocsDict,BeatsVer)]] release.

Additional packages are available through the Fedora Package Collection software repository. For additional information about multimedia in Fedora, refer to the Multimedia section of the Fedora Project website at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Multimedia.
=== Multimedia Players ===
The default installation of Fedora includes '''Rhythmbox''' and '''Totem''' for media playback. The Fedora repositories include many other popular programs such as the '''XMMS''' player and KDE's '''amaroK'''. Both GNOME and KDE have a selection of players that can be used with a variety of formats. Third parties may offer additional programs to handle other formats.
Fedora also takes full advantage of the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) sound system. Many programs can play sound simultaneously, which was once difficult on Linux systems. When all multimedia software is configured to use ALSA for sound support, this limitation disappears. For more information about ALSA, visit the project website at http://www.alsa-project.org/. Users may still experience issues when multiple users log into the system. Depending upon hardware and software configurations, multiple users may not be able to use the sound hardware simultaneously.

- ==== codec-buddy ====

- New in Fedora is the `codec-buddy`, which detects when you are trying to play a multimedia format without the needed codecs installed. If the codec needed is not free and open, {{{codec-buddy}}} offers options for obtaining the needed codecs.

=== CD and DVD Authoring and Burning ===
- Fedora software repositories includes a variety of tools for easily mastering and burning CDs and DVDs. GNOME users can burn directly from the Nautilus file manager, choose the `gnomebaker` or `graveman` packages from Fedora Extras, or utilize the older `xcdroast` package from Fedora. KDE users can use the robust `k3b` package for these tasks. Console tools include {{{cdrecord}}}, {{{readcd}}}, {{{mkisofs}}} and other popular applications.

- You can use Fedora to create and play back ''screencasts'', which are recorded desktop sessions, using open technologies. Fedora Extras software repository includes `istanbul`, which creates screencasts using the Theora video format. These videos can be played back using one of several players included in Fedora. This is the preferred way to submit screencasts to the Fedora Project for either developer or end-user use. For a more comprehensive how-to, refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ScreenCasting.
