[Fedora-trans-ar] Fw: Fedora Core 4

[Sherif Abdelgawad]

>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.
