Fedora 23 for z Systems (aka s390x) released ============================================ It's (approximately) Halloween, so you know what that means — new Fedora! The Fedora 23 release is here, and it's better than ever before. We're pleased to bring you the latest incarnation of one of the main Fedora editions on z Systems — Fedora Server, built with love by the Fedora community to custom-fit your needs mainly in the service deployment area. If that's all you need to hear, download from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/23/ or if you already use Fedora, follow the simple upgrade steps at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading. Otherwise, read on for details. Fedora Server ------------ Fedora Server makes service management simple with RoleKit, a programmatic interface for quick deployment, and Cockpit, a remote web GUI. Now in Fedora Server 23, you can manage Kubernetes clusters from the Cockpit Admin Console, or launch a FreeIPA domain controller from a kickstart file. Get Fedora Server this morning and have an identity management solution in place by lunchtime. * https://getfedora.org/server Updated Components ------------------ As with every Fedora release, almost every component has a new version, with improvements across the board. Fedora 23 also has important under-the-hood security improvements, with increased hardening for all compiled software and with insecure SSL3 and RC4 protocols disabled. We've also updated all of the software installed by default in Fedora Cloud Base Image and to use Python version 3, and the Mono .NET compatible framework is now at version 4. Perhaps most importantly, Unicode 8.0 support now enables the crucial U1F32D character.
