Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Fedora Project Wiki" for change notification. The following page has been changed by RahulSundaram: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/OverView?action=diff&rev2=331&rev1=330 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ * 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. -- Fedora-relnotes-content mailing list Fedora-relnotes-content@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-relnotes-content
