Hmm... So Linux Lovers Here's Somthin' You'll Like:hap3:,

We Have Fedora Core 4 On Its Way...:cool2:

Confused... ? One Shud Be... I Mean It Has Been A Couple Of Months When We Moved Frm 2-3...:huh:



But Still As Per The News...



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.
