What's New in Fedora 12 ?

Fedora 12 (Constantine) is filled with improvements that
make Linux better than ever for all types of users. Here are a few of
the new things you can expect to see when you try out Fedora 12.

Desktop Users

Fedora features Empathy, an instant messenger that supports chat,
video, and audio. You can talk to your friends who are on AIM, Yahoo,
Google Talk, Jabber, Live (MSN), MySpace, and many other platforms.

You can even use Empathy to share your desktop with friends, so you can
help each other learn and experience Fedora. By taking advantage of the
latest improvements in webcam and video support embedded in Fedora 12,
Empathy lets you experience the next generation of IM.
Support for Bluetooth audio devices lets you enjoy audio on your
computer without the hassle of wires. That's right - you can stand right
up and dance your heart out (or go get a cup of coffee) without losing a
beat! Start a voice chat with friends online, or chill out with some
tunes in Rhythmbox.

Fedora's also got great support for many of the devices you use every
day. Whether you're looking to keep your calendar in sync or keep the
music flowing throughout your day, Fedora's there for you. Connect your
mobile MP3 player, PDA, or smartphone, and let Fedora 12 unite all your
digital entertainment.

NetworkManager helps you get online and stay online when you're
on the go. With expanded support for mobile broadband, easy Bluetooth
phone tethering, and integrated password management, NetworkManager
makes surfing and communicating just a click away.

NetworkManager improvements in Fedora 12 also include:

* IPv6 for next-generation networking
* Better support for shared, static, and system-wide network connections
* A redesigned interface that is simpler to use and understand

PackageKit finds software for you, whether you're looking for
ways to deal with files from friends or just want to explore the over
15,000 packages that Fedora provides for free. You can install entire
groups of related software in just a couple clicks, and PackageKit helps
you keep your system secure and up to date through its subtle but
effective alert system.

PackageKit is even more helpful in Fedora 12, including:

* A refined interface that is more responsive and informative
* Support for installing packages directly from the web browser
* Supports GNOME and KDE
* An available command-line plugin that finds software to support new commands when you run them

Better than ever tablet support allows you to enjoy pressure-sensitive drawing out-of-the-box - no mucking with configuration files required!

* Fedora 12's updated version of Inkscape includes the new pen
presets tool which lets you choose from a selection of pens to draw with
(including 'dip pen,' 'brush,' 'wiggly,' and 'marker') and also gives
you the ability to create and save your own pen styles.
* Gimp's brush dynamics tool allows you to control how the velocity
and pressure of your tablet pen can effect the opacity, color, hardness,
and size of brush strokes.
* Cell writer handwriting recognition lets you input text without having to use a keyboard.
* Xournal allows you to jot notes on, highlight, and sign PDF
documents - no more print, sign, and re-scan. You can even take
handwritten notes on digital notebook paper.

There's lots of little fixes as well:

* Clearer, more navigable menu bars
* A fresh desktop background theme
* Icons that help you find your special content folders quickly
* And much more

Office productivity made easy: no matter what you do -- email, web
browsing, office applications, graphic design, robotics, electronic
design automation, project management, personal databases, amateur
radio, webcomics — you'll find it all here.

System Administrators

Fedora 12 gives you the future first. The technologies that make open
source the platform of choice for savvy system administrators are all
here. Fast, stable, secure, and ready for you to work your magic.

A number of improvements are included in Fedora 12 to make your life
easier. A new initial ramdisk setup tool called Dracut helps keep boot
time as low as possible. There's now ext4 support for GRUB, and Kernel
Mode Setting (KMS) is enabled by default on systems with NVIDIA, ATI and
Intel video cards for a faster and smoother graphical boot.

For those who use Samba, the addition of GFS2 Clustered Samba and
improvements in HA (high availability) clustering makes sharing data
across machines easier and more reliable. Fedora 12 also features
constant security updates for bulletproof systems, and a number of
virtualization improvements have emerged with this release that use
memory more efficiently, provide more flexible hardware and network
solutions, and boost the performance of virtual guest disk images. You
can even create scripts to perform complex tasks directly on guest disk
images. Fedora 12 helps you unite all the diverse cultures of your
virtual guests into a single functional system.

Developers

For developers, Fedora 12 includes a rich set of development tools,
including all popular programming languages, IDEs, and an extensive set
of libraries. The most recent versions of emacs, mercurial, and php are
included - no need to worry about downloading the latest and greatest,
we've got them all. And for developers using Eclipse, version 3.5.1
(Galileo) is included in Fedora 12, along with more Eclipse plug-ins
than ever before. And these features are all in addition to the world's
most popular web, SQL and application servers, creating a complete
development and production environment in one easy to use platform.
