* [https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/transifex/ Transifex] provides a web-based translation interface to allow users to contribute translation work for Fedora hosted projects as well as being able to provide translations to upstream directly to any upstream project.
- * Integration of unique build IDs into Fedora's software building infrastructure now provides enhanced debugging capabilities and core dumps.
-
* Fedora now offers easier rebranding of Fedora derivatives via a `generic-logos` software package. Changes in Fedora's mirror structure also make creation of derivatives easier.
* The `pam_console` module usage has been removed in favor of access control via HAL, which modernizes the desktop.

* [http://www.packagekit.org/ PackageKit], a new set of graphical and console tools for cross-distribution software management, is installed by default in this release of Fedora. The PackageKit graphical updater is also installed by default, instead of '''Pup'''. Behind Package``Kit, the performance of `yum` has been significantly improved. '''Pup''' and '''Pirut''' are still available in the software repositories for users that prefer them.
- * Live installations are faster and require a smaller root filesystem. The file system layout has also changed somewhat. System files for the Live images are now under `LiveOS/`, and a new `README` file has been provided as a short introduction to the live image.

=== pam_mount ===
pam_mount now uses a config file written in xml. {{{/etc/security/pam_mount.conf}}} will be converted to {{{/etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml}}} during update with {{{/usr/bin/convert_pam_mount_conf.pl}}}, this will remove all comments. If you use per user config files, they need to be converted manually (you can use the conversion script, off course). A sample pam_mount.conf.xml file with detailed comments about the available options can be found at {{{/usr/share/doc/pam_mount-*/pam_mount.conf.xml}}}.

+ [http://www.tug.org/texlive/ TeXLive] is a replacement for the old, unmaintained TeX package. It offers new style packages and fixes many security problems with the old distribution.

adding links to feature pages
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The new clock applet in the GNOME panel has expanded to support additional international timezones in the display, as well as weather information for each configured timezone displayed. This work, which involved merging `intlclock` with the GNOME clock applet, provides all the functionality of `system-config-date` and the weather applet. Additional features include: users can choose arbtirary locations instead of principal timezones; UI enhancements for new and old functions; and full weather information shown in a tooltip.

=== Dictionaries Consolidated ===
There is a new default spell checking back-end, `hunspell`, for both the GNOME and KDE desktops, as well as applications such as OpenOffice.org, Firefox, and other XULRunner-based applications. This common back-end includes a set of shared, multi-lingual dictionaries for use with {{{hunspell}}}. This feature uses a single set of common dictionaries regardless of the application, which gives consistent suggestions for misspelled words and uses less diskpace by eliminating duplicate dictionaries.

* `kdeadmin-kpackage` has been split out of `kdeadmin` because KPackage now depends on `smart`.
* KDE 4 dropped the `kdeaddons` module. Therefore, there is no `kdeaddons` package in Fedora 9. The Atlantik Designer, for use with `kdegames3`, is still available as `kdeaddons-atlantikdesigner`. `ksig` is now its own package. `extragear-plasma` replaces the Kicker addons. The Konqueror plugins are being packaged as a separate `konq-plugins` package.
+ === Bluetooth ===
+
+ The Bluetooth feature in Fedora 9 (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/BluetoothFedora9) has several enhancements specific to this release. The future of this feature is covered with greater detail at:
+
+ http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureBluetooth
+
+ File sending to a Bluetooth device is now handled with the {{{bluetooth-sendto))) program from the `bluez-gnome` package, which replaces {{{gnome-obex-send}}}. Send a file in '''Nautilus''' from the ''Send to...'' function in the right-click context menu.
+
+ Pulling files from a Bluetooth device is now included in {{{gnome-user-share}}}, which has ObexFTP and ObexPush support built-in. Share files via ''System > Preferences > Internet and Network > Personal File Sharing > Share Public files over Bluetooth'' (ObexFTP support), or pull files using ObexPush with ''Personal File Sharing > Receive files in Downloads folter over Bluetooth''.
+
+ Files on the remote Bluetooth device can be viewed directly in '''Nautilus''' through GVFS, which supports Bluetooth devices. Synchronizing a Bluetooth device with a personal information manager (PIM) device is done using {{{gnome-pilot}}}
+
+ Browsing of Bluetooth devices is done via the right-click context menu from the Bluetooth icon on the desktop panel.
+
=== XULRunner ===
- Applications which require the Gecko engine today depend on Firefox on the whole. XULRunner is the Mozilla effort to split the browser engine for applications that require only that functionality, and no user interface parts. This split provides more API/ABI stability and a cleaner build environment for applications using Gecko. Many of the applications in Fedora which previously used Gecko now are built against XULRunner.
