A Fedora Core 4 proto-schedule is available at: http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/schedule/ Generally, it's 3 4-week test releases, with a release in early/mid May. So, what's planned for Fedora Core 4? Here's what we're looking at from the Red Hat side of things: - GCC 4, if it's ready We're not planning on holding for it, but if it's out in a reasonable time, sure. Failing that, we're looking at making more of the FORTIFY_SOURCE and other gcc & glibc security extensions integrated, if at all possible. - The usual new stuff - GNOME 2.10, KDE 3.4, Xorg 6.8.2, OpenOffice 2.0 (maybe), etc. - Xen and Virtualization This starts by integrating the Xen kernel stuff, and going from there. - SELinux Episode III: Revenge of the AVC Yet more targets in the targeted policy. - Faster boot Eliminating redundancy and old cruft in the bootup process, starting GDM early if possible, using newer and faster udev codebases, and other related tweaks. - Java More native-compiled GCJ stuff. Including Eclipse. - Package management GUI integration of system-config-packages, yum, and friends. - more networking changes Further integration of NetworkManager - PPC support For your brand spanking new MiniMac, or the p655 under your desk. - Extras at launch time. Or else. Hopefully, self explanatory. Could coincide with the move of some bits from Core to Extras. In fact, some of the stuff on this list of features may *be* in Extras. Probably other stuff that I'm forgetting in here. I'm sure more people can remind me. Bill
