- == Change the Desktop release criteria for ARM and AArch64

- 

- The following release criteria changes are now present in Fedora 32:

- 

- * drop `Xfce` on 32-bit ARM from release-blocking desktops

- * workstation on AArch64 to release-blocking desktops

- 

- The new additions to release-blocking deliverables include `IoT` and `CoreOS` architecture.

- To reduce the overall test coverage and release-blocking desktops it no longer blocks on the 32-Bit `ARM Xfce` Desktop spin and adds `Workstation` on AArch64 as a release-blocking desktop.

- 

- As a result, this change reduces the release-blocking desktops and potential for blocker bugs.

- 

- == Selected bitmap fonts are now available as OpenType

- 

- In Fedora 31, the *Pango* library switched to the *HarfBuzz* back end, which does not support bitmap fonts. Applications that use *Pango* for font rendering, such as *GNOME Terminal*, can no longer use bitmap fonts.

- 

- This release introduces new packages that provide selected bitmap fonts converted to the OpenType format. This format is supported by *Pango*.

- 

- The following packages now provide OpenType versions of bitmap fonts:

- 

- * `bitmap-lucida-typewriter-opentype-fonts`

- * `bitmap-fangsongti-opentype-fonts`

- * `bitmap-console-opentype-fonts`

- * `bitmap-fixed-opentype-fonts`

- * `ucs-miscfixed-opentype-fonts`

- * `terminus-fonts`

- 

- You cannot install both the bitmap and OpenType versions of the packages, with the exception of `terminus-fonts`, which includes both formats.

- This section lists changes in Fedora {PRODVER} relevant to desktop users.

- = LLVM

- == LLVM 10.0.0

- Fedora 32 comes with LLVM 10. Please note that the `soname` version for LLVM libraries has been changed. Maintainers of packages that depend on `clang-libs` or `llvm-libs` will need to update their spec files to depend on the `clang9.0` and `llvm9.0` compatibility packages if they want to rebuild their package and it does not work with LLVM 10 yet. Compatibility packages `clang9.0` and `llvm9.0` was added to this release. Spec file changes are only needed if the package is going to be rebuilt after LLVM 10 and Fedora update. 

- === Changes:

- Full list of new features, improvements and bug fixes that comes with LLVM 10 can be found here:

- https://releases.llvm.org/10.0.0/docs/ReleaseNotes.html[upstream release notes] 

- ==== All LLVM sub-projects in Fedora 32 was also updated to version 10 :

- 

- * clang https://releases.llvm.org/10.0.0/tools/clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.html[details]

- * lld https://releases.llvm.org/10.0.0/tools/lld/docs/ReleaseNotes.html[details]

- * lldb https://releases.llvm.org/10.0.0/docs/ReleaseNotes.html#changes-to-lldb[details]

- * libcxx (libc{plus}{plus}) https://releases.llvm.org/10.0.0/projects/libcxx/docs/ReleaseNotes.html[details]

- 

- ==== As well as:

- 

- 

- 

- Depending on the workload, up to 27% improved performance is now observed in Python-based software. The improved performance is accomplished by building the Python interpreter with `-fno-semantic-interposition`. Because there is no semantic interposition now, the internal symbol look-ups from `libpython` to `libpython` library are direct and faster.

- As a consequence, if Fedora users need to use `LD_PRELOAD` to override symbols in `libpython`, the recommended way is to build a custom Python build without `-fno-semantic-interposition`. However, it is still possible to use `LD_PRELOAD` to override symbols in other libraries (for example in glibc).

- The Python upstream stopped supporting Python 2 on 1 January 2020. For this reason, Fedora 32 removes Python 2 packages.

- * The `python2` package and all its subpackages

- * All packages that need Python 2 to run

- * All packages that need Python 2 to build

- Fedora 32 still provides a legacy `python27` package. This package is intended for developers who need to support Python 2 and for users who need to use software that depends on Python 2.

- * The package does note provide the `/usr/bin/python` binary.

- 

- // TODO: I don't quite understand this point. Rephrase?

- // * Any special backwards compatible Provides are removed (this package is not intended to be depended upon)

- Support for Nose is now deprecated. However for now, the `python3-nose` package continues to be available in the Fedora repositories.

- 

- ==== New features:

- ==== Performance improvements:

- * `Module#name`, `true.to_s`, `false.to_s`, and `nil.to_s` now always return a frozen String. The returned String is always the same for a given object. [Experimental] 

- * The performance of `CGI.escapeHTML` is improved. 

- * `RubyVM::InstructionSequence#to_binary` method generates compiled binary. The binary size is reduced. 

- 

- ==== Other notable changes:

- **        RSS 0.2.8 

- 

- 

- 

- *    Update Unicode version and Emoji version from 11.0.0 to 12.0.0. 

- 

- *    Update Unicode version to 12.1.0, adding support for U+32FF SQUARE ERA NAME REIWA. 

- 

- *    `Date.jisx0301`, `Date#jisx0301`, and `Date.parse` support the new Japanese era. 

- 

- 

- === Detailed changes:

- 

- 

- 

- 

- 

- `irb`, the bundled interactive environment (REPL; Read-Eval-Print-Loop), now supports multi-line editing. It is powered by `reline`, a `readline` -compatible library implemented in pure Ruby. It also provides rdoc integration. In `irb` you can display the reference for a given class, module, or method. 

- 

- 

- The `GC.compact` method is introduced for compacting the heap. This function compacts live objects in the heap so that fewer pages may be used, and the heap may be more CoW (copy-on-write) friendly.

- 

- 

- Automatic conversion of keyword arguments and positional arguments is deprecated, and conversion will be removed in Ruby 3. 

- 

- ===== Changes:

- 

- 

- * When a method call passes a Hash at the last argument, and when it passes no keywords, and when the called method accepts keywords, a warning is emitted. To continue treating the hash as keywords, add a double splat operator to avoid the warning and ensure correct behavior in Ruby 3.

- * When a method call passes keywords to a method that accepts keywords, but it does not pass enough required positional arguments, the keywords are treated as a final required positional argument, and a warning is emitted. Pass the argument as a hash instead of keywords to avoid the warning and ensure correct behavior in Ruby 3.

- * When a method accepts specific keywords but not a keyword splat, and a hash or keywords splat is passed to the method that includes both Symbol and non-Symbol keys, the hash will continue to be split, and a warning will be emitted. You will need to update the calling code to pass separate hashes to ensure correct behavior in Ruby 3.

- * If a method does not accept keywords, and is called with keywords, the keywords are still treated as a positional hash, with no warning. This behavior will continue to work in Ruby 3.

- * `**nil` is allowed in method definitions to explicitly mark that the method accepts no keywords. Calling such a method with keywords will result in an `ArgumentError`. 

- * Passing an empty keyword splat to a method that does not accept keywords no longer passes an empty hash, unless the empty hash is necessary for a required parameter, in which case a warning will be emitted. Remove the double splat to continue passing a positional hash.

- If you want to disable the deprecation warnings, please use a command-line argument -W:no-deprecated or add Warning[:deprecated] = false to your code.

- == Jekyll has been updated to version 4

- 

- The *Jekyll* static page generator and its plug-ins have been updated to version 4.0.0.

- 

- This version includes the following changes compared to version 3.8:

- A new lab called Comp-NeuroFedora has been added to the suite. This change provides a pre-packaged, ready-to-install lab image with Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) to streamline computational neuroscience work. The change also aims to encourage more users to use Fedora in their scientific efforts.

- The `python-django` package has been updated to version 3.0 in Fedora 32. Notable changes in this version include:

- * ASGI support

- 

- * Official MariaDB support

- 

- * Exclusion constraints on PostgreSQL

-

- [[sect-automation]]

- = Automation

- This change aims to provide more reliable, predictable, and consistent fonts installation as well as better user experience around font dependencies. To achieve this, the change moves the `Provides: font(:lang=*)` tags into the `langpacks-core-font-*` sub-packages of the `langpacks` package. The sub-packages already obtain the default font, locale and input-method for each language. As a result, whenever a missing glyph font installation is requested, the `langpacks-core-font-<lang>` package will be installed and will get the default font using the existing `Requires:` tag.

- 

- Since Fedora 32, the operating system to be installed from the physical optical media will not need to be tested before the general availability. However, issues regarding physical media boot will still be treated as blocker bugs.

- * `Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-_RELEASE_MILESTONE_.iso`

- * `Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-_RELEASE_MILESTONE_.iso`

- The change aims to address the trend of ever decreasing amount of new computers and laptops with CD/DVD drivers and errors that installation using this media entails.
