=== Perl ===
Fedora 9 now includes Perl 5.10.0, the first "major" release update in perl5 in some time. The Perl interpreter itself is faster with a smaller memory footprint, and has several UTF-8 and threading improvements. The Perl installation is now relocatable, a blessing for systems administrators and operating system packagers. Perl 5.10.0 also adds a new smart match operator, a switch statement, named captures, state variables, and better error messages.
- For more information, refer to [http://perldoc.perl.org/perldelta.html].

=== Available Images ===
- There are five Live images available for Fedora [[GetVal(DocsDict,BeatsVer)]]:
+ For a complete list of current spins available, and instructions for using them, refer to:
+ http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/CustomSpins
- 1. Fedora Live (i686, x86_64, ppc) - This image includes the GNOME desktop environment, integrates all supported Fedora locales, and features a basic set of productivity applications. Only the i686 version fits on a CD. The x86_64 version has the same feature set and includes multilib packages.
- 1. Fedora KDE Live (i686, x86_64) - This image includes the KDE desktop environment, with full support for English language only. Only the i686 version fits on a CD. The x86_64 version has the same feature set and includes multilib packages.
- 1. [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/Issue102#head-53444e1645ab6dc131718253c... Fedora Developer Live] (i686) - This Live image is designed for software developers, and features the GNOME desktop environment. The toolkit includes the Eclipse integrated development environment, API documentation, and a variety of debugging and profiling utilities.
- 1. [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/FedoraElectronicLab Fedora Electronic Lab (FEL) Live] (i686) - This Live image is designed for engineers working on electronics, and includes a toolkit for electronic component design and simulation. The image fits on a CD.
- 1. [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Games/GamesLive Fedora Games Live] (i686) - This DVD-sized Live image includes a wide selection of both classic and modern 3-D entertainment titles.
-
- Note that GNOME based Live images do not include the '''Openoffice.org''' office suite to save space. Instead they include '''Abiword''' and support for more locales. The KDE Live CD uses parts of `koffice` instead. The Fedora Live images do not support i586 class machines. To install Fedora on an i586, you must use the classic installation method.

Editorial pass
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
+ {{{livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 512 /path/to/live.iso /dev/sdb1
}}}
+ Replace ''/dev/sdb1'' with the partition where you want to put the image.
+
- 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.
