------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* NetworkManager 0.7 provides improved mobile broadband support, including GSM and CDMA
devices, and now supports multiple devices and ad-hoc networking for sharing connections.
It is now enabled by default on regular installations too in additional to live image
installations.
- * The Fedora installer, '''Anaconda''', now supports partition
resizing, encrypted filesystems, independent locations for the second stage installer and
the software packages. A redesigned, larger `netboot.iso` image now features a second
stage installer partly for this reason.
+ * The Fedora installer, '''Anaconda''', now supports partition
resizing for ext2/3, NTFS filesystems, creating and installating to encrypted filesystems,
improved Rescue Mode (First``Aid``Kit), independent locations for the second stage
installer and the software packages. A redesigned, larger `netboot.iso` image now
features a second stage installer partly for this reason.
+
+ * Live cd images now support persistence so your setting changes will be preserved even
after rebooting the live CD/DVD.
* [
http://www.packagekit.org/ PackageKit], a new set of graphical, console tools and
framework for cross-distribution software management has replaced Pirut in this release of
Fedora. The Package``Kit graphical updater is available instead of
'''Pup'''. Behind Package``Kit, the performance of `yum` has been
significantly improved.
+
+ * Free``IPA makes managing auditing, identity and policy processes easier by providing
web-based and command line provisioning and administration tools that takes the pain away
from system administration: it combines the power of the Fedora Directory Server with
Free``RADIUS, MIT Kerberos, NTP and DNS to provide an easy, out of the box solution.
* [
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4 Ext4], the next version of the mature and stable
ext3 filesystem is available as a option in this release. Ext4 features better
performance, higher storage capacity and several other new features.
* The `swfdec` package, which decodes and renders Flash animations and videos, is now
installed by default. However, many videos require additional codec support. Refer to
[
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AdditionalCodecs] for more information.
* This release of Fedora uses ["Upstart"], an event-based replacement for the
`/sbin/init` daemon.
+
+ * Firefox 3 Beta 2 brings a number of major improvements including a native look and
feel, desktop integration, the new Places replacement for bookmarks and a re-worked
address bar.
* The completely free and open source Java environment OpenJDK 6 is installed by
default. IcedTea 7, derived from OpenJDK 1.7, is no longer the default. IcedTea includes
a browser plugin based on GCJ, and is available for both x86 and x86_64 architectures. GCJ
is still the default on PPC architecture.
