Will latest stuff be in FC5?

Hello:

On the FC5 Future Work page it says something about the possiblity that Gnome 2.14 will be included in FC5. How realistic is that considering Gnome 2.14 will only be officially released a few weeks after FC5 is officially released. The wiki said it, can anyone explain it?

... and what of Xen 3.0 in FC5? I can't wait to get a laptop with intel or AMD extensions that allow me to switch between Windows and Fedora. How realistic is that as well?

Keepin' it real,

and what would that be like anyways? Running Firefox in both Fedora and Windows at the same time. Woah.

GNOME 2.13 (development version) is already in the Fedora development tree. If the release candidates are stable enough FC5 might include that similar to the Openoffice 2.0 milestone release included in FC4 originally or the release might be postponed a bit to included the GNOME 2.14 release.

Xen 3.0 is expected to be available pretty soon. Xen integration has been a ongoing work. and a large amount of the installer related changes are already included in the Fedora Core 5 test 1 release and development tree currently. If the hardware support is there Fedora can very well run other operating systems as guest instances within Xen

If you have Fedora development related questions its better to post to fedora-devel of fedora-test list.

As a Multimedia lover，I hope FC5 has the ability of playing multiple sound :)
Fedora Core is also equipped to take full advantage of the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) sound system. This means that many programs can play sound simultaneously, which was once difficult on Linux systems. When all multimedia software is configured to use ALSA for sound support, this old limitation disappears. For more information about ALSA, visit the project website:

If you mean sound mixing, Dmix in FC4 already does that by default

GNOME 2.14 and FC5 presently have the same day as release dates. So will FC5 have GNOME 2.14? I'm thinking "no" but hoping "yes."

Rahul already answered that. Probably a stable 2.13.

i always thought the idea was that the fc5 release date was based on when they could get gnome 2.14 working, i.e. gnome 2.14 and a few days later fc5.

and doesn't test3 have xen3 in it?

and as far as audio mixing goes, yeah i was horrified last night to be playing a game and try to play an mp3 and not be able to do it, i thought "ooh, that's sooo 1992"!

Given the fact that they share the same release date I think that it is plausable; in fact I anticipate the inclusion of Gnome 2.14. What is more important to me, however, is that the latest version of YUM is included.

Just me $0.02
