The users of Fedora 11 can expect the next version of the operating system by the end of this year. According to the developers, the next version of the popular operating system among users of Linux-based platforms is scheduled for release on November 3.
Included new features of Fedora 12 are: PolicyKit 1.0 (grants users access to privileged operations, replacing the old userhelper), NetworkManagerIPv6 (IPv6 support for NetworkManager), liblvm (userspace library for LVM), Empathy (default Instant Messaging application), debuginfo filesystem, Multiseat (for multiple users working via the same system simultaneously), Dracut (the nash/mkinitrd replacement), Systemtap Static Probes, and NetworkManager System Connections (support for system-wide connections to NetworkManager).
Even if the list of the new features and enhancements is final, there have about 4 months left until the final release, so there’s enough time for the exact date to change a bit, like it happens with many systems coming from developers targeting perfection.
Fedora 11 was released a few days ago, more exactly on June 10, and is available for download from the official website updated by Red Hat and the other teams working on the big open-source project.
In the mean time, the Fedora Project planning involves freezing development by August 4, releasing the Alpha version on August 18, finishing the software translation by September 15, releasing the Beta version on October 6, composing the Release Candidate on October 20, and making the Fedora 12 Final Release available on November 3.
