<para>
- SCIM (Simple Common Input Method) has replaced IIIMF as the
- input method system for Asian and other languages in Fedora Core
- in this release. SCIM uses
- <code>Ctrl-Space</code>
- as the default trigger key to toggle on and off the input
- method, though it is easy to change the hotkey or add hotkeys
- with the SCIM setup configuration tool. Japanese users can now
- use the
- <code>Zenkaku_Hankaku</code>
- key to toggle between native and ASCII input.
+ The default SCIM (Simple Common Input Method) GTK Input Method
+ Module is now <code>scim-bridge</code> , written from scratch in
+ C by Ryo Dairiki. SCIM is no longer linked against
+ <code>libstdc++so7</code> , and <code>scim-qtimm</code> works

- <title>IPv4 Address Promotion</title>
-
- <para>
- Starting with version 2.6.12 of the kernel, a new feature has been
- added called <emphasis>named address promotion</emphasis>. This
- feature allows secondary IPv4 addresses to be promoted to primary
- addresses. Usually when the primary address is deleted, all secondary
- addresses are deleted as well. If you enable the new
- <code>sysctl</code> key
- <code>net.ipv4.conf.all.promote_secondaries</code>, or one of the
- interface specific variants, you can change this behavior to promote
- one of the secondary addresses to be the new primary address.

- <title>Configurable Source Address for ICMP Errors</title>
-
- <para>
- By default, when selecting the source address for ICMP error messages,
- the kernel uses the address of the interface on which the ICMP error
- is going to be sent. Kernel version 2.6.12 introduces the new
- <code>sysctl</code> key
- <code>net.ipv4.icmp_errors_use_inbound_ifaddr</code>. If you enable
- this option the kernel uses the address of the interface that received
- the original error-causing packet.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- Suppose the kernel receives a packet on interface <code>eth0</code>
- which generates an ICMP error, and the routing table causes the error
- message to be generated on interface <code>eth1</code>. If the new
- <code>sysctl</code> option is enabled, the ICMP error message
- indicates the source address as interface <code>eth0</code>, instead
- of the default <code>eth1</code>. This feature may ease network
- debugging in asynchronous routing setups.

- <title>LC-Trie Based Routing Lookup Algorithm</title>

- <title>Queue Avoidance upon Carrier Loss</title>
-
- <para>
- When a network driver notices a carrier loss, such as when the
- cable is pulled out, the driver stops the queue in front of
- the driver. In the past, this stoppage caused the packets to
- be queued at the queueing discipline layer for an unbound
- period of time causing unexpected effects. In order to prevent
- this effect, the core networking stack now refuses to queue
- any packets for a device that is operationally down, that is,
- has its queue disabled.

- The PCMCIA framework used by laptop and mobile devices has
- changed. The older <code>pcmcia-cs</code> package using the
- <code>cardmgr/pcmcia</code> service has been replaced with a new
- <code>pcmciautils</code> package. With <code>pcmciautils</code>,
- PCMCIA devices are handled directly and dynamically by the
- <code>hotplug</code> and <code>udev</code> subsystems. This update
- increases both efficiency and performance of the system. For more
- information about these changes, refer to <ulink

- SELinux implementation has undergone a major change, with a switch
- to the SELinux reference policy (<ulink

- The SELinux reference policy can support binary policy modules. It
- is now possible to move SELinux policies into individual packages,
- making it easier for users to ship site-specific policy
- customizations when required. This version also adds support for
- Multi-Category Security (MCS), enabled by default, and Multi-Level
- Security (MLS). SELinux continues to offer support for TE (Type
- Enforcement), enabled by default, and RBAC (Role-Based Access
- Control). Refer to the section on SELinux in these release notes
- for other details and links to SELinux resources on the Fedora
- Project pages.

- <listitem>
- <para>
- <code>udev</code> provides a new linking for device names that
- includes the physical name of the device. For example, if your
- CD-ROM is <code>/dev/hdc</code>, it gets symlinked to the friendly
- name <code>/dev/cdrom-hdc</code>. If you have additional matching
- devices, the same rule applies, so <code>/dev/hdd</code> is
- symlinked to <code>/dev/cdrom-hdd</code>. This is true for
- <code>/dev/scanner</code>, <code>/dev/floppy</code>,
- <code>/dev/changer</code>, and so forth.
- </para>
- <para>
- The typical name <code>/dev/cdrom</code> is also created, and
- <code>udev</code> assigns it randomly to one of the
- <code>/dev/cdrom-hdX</code> devices. This random assignment usually
- sticks, but in some configurations the symlink may change on boot
- to a different device. This does not affect CD burning
- applications, but some CD player applications such as
- <code>kscd</code> may be affected. If you wish, you can set your CD
- player application to point at a specific CD-ROM device, such as
- <code>/dev/cdrom-hdc</code>. This situation only occurs if you
- have more than one of a type of device.

- <title>Core utilities POSIX changes</title>
-
- <para>
- The
- <code>coreutils</code> package now follows the POSIX standard version 200112. This
- change in behavior might affect scripts and command arguments
- that were previously deprecated. For example, if you have a
- newer system but are running software that assumes an older
- version of POSIX and uses <code>sort +1</code> or <code>tail +10</code>, you can work around any compatibility problems by setting <code>_POSIX2_VERSION=199209</code> in your environment. Refer to the section on standards in the <code>coreutils</code> info manual for more information on this. You can run the
- following command to read this information.

-
- <para>
- By default, <code>yum</code> is now configured to remove headers and
- packages downloaded after a successful install to reduce the ongoing
- disk space requirements of updating a Fedora system. Most users have
- little or no need for the packages once they have been installed on the
- system. For cases where you wish to preserve the headers and packages

- <title>Mounting of Fixed Disks in Gnome and KDE</title>
-
- <para>
- As part of the changes to the mounting infrastructure, the desktop's
- automatic mountable devices detection now includes policy definitions
- that ignore all fixed disk devices from. This was done to increase
- security on multi-user systems. People on multi-user systems who want to
- make changes to disk mounting that could impact the multi-user
- environment are advised to understand the implications of the default
- HAL policy decisions and to review the HAL policy files in
- <code>/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/</code>.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- If you are on a single-user system and would like to recover the
- functionality to mount fixed disk items such as IDE partitions from the
- desktop, you can modify the default HAL policy. To enable deskop
- mounting for all fixed disks:
- </para>
-
-<screen>
-su -c 'mv /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/99-redhat-storage-policy-\
-fixed-drives.fdi /root/'
-su -c '/sbin/service haldaemon restart'
-</screen>

- If you need more fine-grained control and only want to expose
- certain fixed disks for desktop mounting, read over how to
- create additional HAL policy to selectively ignore/allow fixed
- disk devices.

- X.org X11 is an open source implementation of the X Window System. It
- provides the basic low-level functionality upon which full-fledged
- graphical user interfaces (GUIs) such as GNOME and KDE are designed. For
- more information about X.org, refer to <ulink

- X.org X11R7 is the first modular release of X.org, which, among several
- other benefits, promotes faster updates and helps programmers rapidly
- develop and release specific components. More information on the current
- status of the X.org modularization effort in Fedora is available at

- The following list includes some of the more visible changes for
- developers in X11R7:
- </para>
-
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- The entire buildsystem has changed from <code>imake</code> to the
- GNU <code>autotools</code> collection.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- Libraries now install <code>pkgconfig</code> <code>*.pc</code>
- files, which should now always be used by software that depends on
- these libraries, instead of hard coding paths to them in
- <code>/usr/X11R6/lib </code> or elsewhere.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- Everything is now installed directly into <code>/usr</code> instead
- of <code>/usr/X11R6</code>. All software that hard codes paths to
- anything in <code>/usr/X11R6</code> must now be changed, preferably
- to dynamically detect the proper location of the object. Developers
- are <emphasis role='strong'>strongly</emphasis> advised against
- hard-coding the new X11R7 default paths.
- </para>

- Every library has its own private source RPM package, which creates

- <title>X.org X11R7 Developer Notes</title>
-
- <para>
- This section includes a summary of issues of note for developers and
- packagers, and suggestions on how to fix them where possible.
- </para>
-
- <section>
- <title>The /usr/X11R6/ Directory Hierarchy</title>
-
- <para>
- X11R7 files install into <code>/usr</code> directly now, and no longer
- use the <code>/usr/X11R6/</code> hierarchy. Applications that rely on
- files being present at fixed paths under <code>/usr/X11R6/</code>,
- either at compile time or run time, must be updated. They should now
- use the system <code>PATH</code>, or some other mechanism to
- dynamically determine where the files reside, or alternatively to hard
- code the new locations, possibly with fallbacks.
- </para>
- </section>
-
- <section>
- <title>Imake</title>
-
- <para>
- The <code>imake</code> xutility is no longer used to build the X
- Window System, and is now officially deprecated. X11R7 includes
- <code>imake</code>, <code>xmkmf</code>, and other build utilities
- previously supplied by the X Window System. X.Org highly recommends,
- however, that people migrate from <code>imake</code> to use GNU
- <code>autotools</code> and <code>pkg-config</code>. Support for
- <code>imake</code> may be removed in a future X Window System release,
- so developers are <emphasis role='strong'>strongly</emphasis>
- encouraged to transition away from it, and not use it for any new
- software projects.
- </para>
- </section>
-
- <section>
- <title>The Systemwide app-defaults/ Directory</title>
-
- <para>
- The system <code>app-defaults/</code> directory for X resources is now
- <code>%{_datadir}/X11/app-defaults</code>, which expands to
- <code>/usr/share/X11/app-defaults/</code> on Fedora Core and for
- future Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems.
- </para>

- <section>
- <title>Correct Package Dependencies</title>
-
- <para>
- Any software package that previously used <code>Build Requires:
- (XFree86-devel|xorg-x11-devel)</code> to satisfy build dependencies
- must now individually list each library dependency. The preferred and
- recommended method is to use <emphasis>virtual</emphasis> build
- dependencies instead of hard coding the library package names of the
- <code>xorg</code> implementation. This means you should use
- <code>Build Requires: libXft-devel</code> instead of <code>Build
- Requires: xorg-x11-Xft-devel</code>. If your software truly does
- depend on the X.Org X11 implementation of a specific library, and
- there is no other clean or safe way to state the dependency, then use
- the <code>xorg-x11-devel</code> form. If you use the virtual
- provides/requires mechanism, you will avoid inconvenience if the
- libraries move to another location in the future.
- </para>
- </section>
-
- <section>
- <title>xft-config</title>
-
- <para>
- Modular X now uses GNU <code>autotools</code> and
- <code>pkg-config</code> for its buildsystem configuration and
- execution. The <code>xft-config</code> utility has been deprecated for
- some time, and <code>pkgconfig</code> <code>*.pc</code> files have
- been provided for most of this time. Applications that previously used
- <code>xft-config</code> to obtain the <code>Cflags</code> or
- <code>libs</code> build options must now be updated to use
- <code>pkg-config</code>.
