> === What's New in Fedora 14? ===
> 
> ==== For desktop users ====
> A universe of new features for end users:
> 
> * libjpeg-turbo:  Users can load and save images faster in Fedora 14
> than in previous releases.
> * Spice: Spice (Simple Protocol for Independent Computing
> Environments) provides users with an enhanced remote desktop
> experience. Currently, it provides the rudimentary foundation to take
> advantage of things like Accelerated 2D graphics, encryption, and
> hardware cursor support.
> 
> ==== For developers ====
> For developers there are all sorts of additional goodies:
> 
> * D: Fedora 14 introduces support for D, a systems programming
> language combining the power and high performance of C and C++ with
> the programmer productivity of modern languages such as Ruby and
> Python.
> * Python 2 upgrade: The system python 2 stack has been upgraded to 2.7.
> * GNUStep: A GUI framework based of the Objective-C programming
> language which is part of the gcc.
> * Memory Debugging Tools: The new "gdb-heap" package adds a new "heap"
> command to /usr/bin/gdb which allows you to get a breakdown of how a
> process is using dynamic memory.
> * Rakudo Star: An implementation of Perl version 6, based on the Parrot VM.
> * Support for Milkymist: Developers can enjoy developing for
> Milkymist, an open hardware embedded board, on Fedora 14. Thanks to
> the Fedora Electronic Lab for their work in this regard.
> 
> ==== For system administrators ====
> And don't think we forgot about the system administrators:
> 
> * Fedora is now available for users of the Amazon Elastic Computing
> Cloud service, released concurrently with the traditional release.
> * virt-v2v assists in the easy migration of Xen virtual machines to
> KVM virtual machines.
> * A Virtualization Technology Preview Repo allows users to test the
> very latest developments in virtualization related packages.
> * Varnish has been updated and includes improved scalability and a new
> log function.
> * Apache has been updated and includes a number of module and security fixes.
> 
> And that's only the beginning. Updated versions of many packages, as
> usual, will be available in Fedora 14. A more complete list with more
> details of the new features on board Fedora 14 is available at:
> 
> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/14/FeatureList?anF14
> 
> OK, so what are you waiting for?  Go download it!  You know you can't wait.

> pushed several bug fixes to older releases of Fedora to enable an easy
> upgrade to Fedora 14.
