User Changes

and most importantly, it’s kde-4.5 and Qt 4.7 (was kde-4.4.2), the

rest of the GUI application version changes are relatively small, unless it’s worth highlighting

• openoffice.org-3.3 (was openoffice.org-3.2)

Changes / buns for admins and advanced users.

• kernel-2.6.35 (was kernel-2.6.33)
• systemd is the new default initialization system.
• using grub2 (grub-0.97 also remained, apparently for compatibility)
• Amazon EC2 cloud support (the last release that was targeted for EC2 is Fedora 8, which hasn't been supported for a long time)
• python-2.7 - everything is tied to this version a lot of work, because half of gui in redhat-based is tied to python (was python-2.6.4)

Big changes for developers

Updating versions of languages, libraries and environments:

• perl-5.12 (was 5.10)
• python-2.7 by default (was python-2.6.4)
• boost-1.44 - libraries for C ++ (was boost-1.41)
• Erlang R14 - (was R13).
• D Programming - Added D language compiler (LDC) and D standard runtime library (Tango)
• Fedora's Eclipse stack to Helios releases (I'm not a developer, and that says little to me)
