But a few new features > are guaranteed to be seen by nearly anyone installing Fedora and are > improvements that deserve to be called out on their own. > > A complete list with details of each new feature is available here: > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/19/FeatureList > > == Make new things == > > Would you like to play? Whether you're a developer, maker, or just starting > to learn about open source development, we have what you need to bring your > ideas to reality. Here's a peek at some of our new tools: > > * Developer's Assistant is a tool for new developers that helps you to get > started on a code project by offering templates, samples, and toolchains for > a variety of languages. And when you're finished, you can publish directly to > GitHub! > > * 3D modelling and printing are supported with OpenSCAD, Skeinforge, SFACT, > Printrun, RepetierHost, and other tool options. Get printing without having > to download binary blobs or run Python code from git. > > * OpenShift Origin makes it easy for you to build your own > Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) infrastructure, allowing you to enable others to > easily develop and deploy software. > > * node.js is a popular Javascript-based platform for those building scalable > network applications or real-time apps across distributed devices. > > * Ruby 2.0.0 moves into Fedora but keeps source-level backwards compatibility > with your Ruby 1.9.3 software. We're also giving you a custom Ruby loader to > use to easily switch interpreters. > > * MariaDB offers a truly open MySQL implementation and is now the default > MySQL option in Fedora. > > == Deploy, Monitor, and Manage == > You don't have to work so hard when your machines are doing it for you. > Regardless of how many you have, Fedora 19 helps you boot-manage your systems > and gives you the tools you need for diagnosis, monitoring, and logging. > > * systemd Resource Control is one of many systemd enhancements in this > release. It lets you modify your service settings without a reboot by > dynamically querying and modifying resource control parameters at runtime. > > * Kerberos administrators no longer need their clients to sync their clocks > or to have reverse DNS records carefully setup for services. Fedora 19 also > includes Kerberos-enabled, LDAP replicated, two-factor authentication for > FreeIPA. > > * Checkpoint & Restore lets you checkpoint and restore a process. It is > useful for issues like process failure or moving a process to another machine > for maintenance or load balancing. > > * OpenLMI is a common infrastructure for the management of Linux systems that > makes remote management of machines much simpler. > > == Desktop Environments and Spins == > > GNOME 3.8 brings new applications such as clock and improvements to the > desktop including privacy and sharing settings, ordered search, frequent > applications overview, and additionally provides the ability to enable GNOME > Classic ("classic mode") for a user experience similar to GNOME 2 built out > of a collection of GNOME Shell extensions.
