http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Security/FreeIPA
The comment on the change is:
adding in new Free IPA feature
New page:
{{{#!html
<h3>Free IPA</h3>}}}
Free IPA is a centrally managed identity, policy, and audit installation.
The IPA server installer assumes a relatively clean system, installing and configuring several services:
* A Fedora Directory Server instance
* KDC
* Apache
* ntpd
* TurboGears
Some effort is made to be able to roll back the changes made but they are not guaranteed.
Similarly the {{{ipa-client-install}}} tool overwrites PAM (`/etc/pam.conf`) and Kerberos (`/etc/krb5.conf`) configurations.
IPA does not support other instances of Fedora Directory Server on the same machine at install time, even listening on different ports. In order to install IPA, other instances must be removed. IPA itself can handle this removing.
There is currently no mechanism for migrating existing users into an IPA server.
For more information about, refer to this feature page:

* One of several Live images that can be run from a disc or USB flash device, and can be installed to hard disk as desired. See the "Live" section for more information about the Live images.
More custom spins are available at http://spins.fedoraproject.org. Remember that these Live images can be used on USB media via the `livecd-iso-to-disk` utility available in the `livecd-tools` package.
+
+ ==== Jigdo ====
+ Fedora releases are now also available via Jigdo. This distribution method can improve the speed at which you can obtain the installation ISO images. Instead of waiting for torrent downloads to complete, Jigdo seeks the fastest mirrors it can find via the Fedora Project Mirror Manager infrastructure, and downloads the bits it needs from these mirrors. To optimize seeking these bits, you can tell Jigdo to scan a DVD or CD you already have, and cut down on redundant downloads. This feature becomes particularly useful if you:
+ 1. download all the test releases and then get the final release, in which case you have 90% of the data already with each subsequent download
+ 1. download both the DVD and the CD set, in which case the DVD holds 95% of the data on you need for the CD sets
+ 1. download any combination of the above

This release of Fedora includes version 3.0 of the popular '''Firefox''' web browser. Refer to http://firefox.com/ for more information about Firefox. The '''nspluginwrapper''' package is included by default even on 32-bit systems since it separates the plugins to run in their own address space, which increases security and reliability of the browser.

==== Enabling Flash Plugin ====
Fedora includes {{{swfdec}}} and {{{gnash}}}, which are free and open source implementations of Flash. We encourage you to try either or them before seeking out Adobe's proprietary Flash plugin software.

=== Road Map ===
The proposed plans for the next release of Fedora are available at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RoadMap.

* Built-in features for resizing ext2/3, vfat, and ntfs partitions
* Encrypted partition support
- * Consolidated network booting ISO image
+ * Consolidated network booting ISO image, replacing old `boot.iso`, `diskboot.img`, and `rescuecd.iso`
* Second stage installer location now independent of software package location
- * Improved Live images support
- * Ability to install from Live image running from RAM or USB stick
+ * Experimental support for installing to ext4 partitions, with the `iamanext4developer` boot option
+ * Native installation to x86_64 machines using EFI and booting via `grub`
+ * Hardware probing and detection now based on `hal` and `udev`
+ * Support for persistence in Live images on USB flash media
+
+ === Live USB Persistence ===
+ Work has continued to better integrate the Live images with the rest of the system, and improve the tools used for building them. The `livecd-creator` utility now also provides an API for building alternative front-ends as well as tools for other types of images.
+
+ The initial work to support persistent changes with a Live image has also landed. The primary use case is booting from a Live image on a USB flash drive and storing changes to that same device. To do this, download the Live image and then run the following command:
+
+ {{{livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 512 /path/to/iso /path/tousbstick
+ }}}
+
+ Here, `512` is the size in megabytes of the persistent data, or `overlay`, you want. The `livecd-iso-to-disk` shell script is stored in the `LiveOS` directory at the top level of the CD image. The USB media must have sufficient free space for the Live image, plus the overlay, plus any other data to be stored on the media.
