==================<br>
<br>
It's (approximately) Halloween, so you know what that means — new<br>
Fedora! The Fedora 23 release is here, and it's better than ever<br>
before. We're pleased to bring you the latest incarnations of the three<br>
main Fedora editions — Fedora Workstation, Fedora Cloud, and Fedora<br>
Server, each built with love by the Fedora community to custom-fit your<br>
needs in different areas. Fedora 23 is also available in alternate<br>
desktop Spins, curated software Labs, and special images for the ARM<br>
processor architecture.<br>
<br>
If that's all you need to hear, download from <a href="https://getfedora.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://getfedora.org/</a>,<br>
or if you already use Fedora, follow the simple upgrade steps at<br>

<br>
Otherwise, read on for details.<br>
<br>
<br>
Fedora Workstation<br>
------------------<br>
<br>
If you're a software developer, laptop or home user, hobbyist,<br>
enthusiast, or student, Fedora Workstation is perfect for you. Fedora<br>
Workstation includes the newest release of the GNOME desktop, which<br>
makes your everyday computing simple, polished, and pleasant.<br>
Experience the sleek interface and powerful tools for yourself —<br>
download Fedora Workstation now.<br>

<br>
Fedora Server<br>
------------<br>
<br>
Fedora Server makes service management simple with RoleKit, a<br>
programmatic interface for quick deployment, and Cockpit, a remote web<br>
GUI. Now in Fedora Server 23, you can manage Kubernetes clusters from<br>
the Cockpit Admin Console, or launch a FreeIPA domain controller from a<br>
kickstart file. Get Fedora Server this morning and have an identity<br>
management solution in place by lunchtime.<br>

<br>
Fedora Cloud<br>
------------<br>
<br>
Build scale-out computing with Fedora Cloud. The Fedora Cloud Base<br>
image provides a minimal OS platform which can be downloaded for use in<br>
OpenStack, or launched directly into EC2. Fedora Atomic Host takes<br>
things in a more radical direction, providing a specialized system for<br>
running Docker containers and Atomic Apps. Now with Fedora 23, Fedora<br>
Atomic Host will be updated on a two-week cycle to keep at the edge of<br>
emerging technology. Download or launch a Fedora Cloud image for your<br>
chosen cloud provider, or as a Vagrant box for local development.<br>

<br>
Spins, Labs, and ARM<br>
--------------------<br>
<br>
Fedora Spins are alternative desktops for Fedora that provide a<br>
different experience than the standard Fedora Workstation edition. For<br>
instance, the Fedora KDE and Fedora Xfce spins provide popular<br>
alternatives to GNOME for Fedora users who enjoy the KDE or Xfce<br>
experience. Fedora 23 also introduces a Cinnamon spin, which provides a<br>
"traditional" desktop layout with the modern GNOME 3 shell.<br>
<br>
* <a href="https://spins.fedoraproject.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://spins.fedoraproject.org</a><br>
<br>
Fedora Labs are curated collections of software maintained by members<br>
of the Fedora Community where you can find updated live media focused<br>
on Games, Design, Robotics, and more. These may be installed on their<br>
own or as add-ons to existing Fedora installations.<br>
<br>
* <a href="https://labs.fedoraproject.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://labs.fedoraproject.org</a><br>
<br>
We also provide a version of the Fedora operating system tailored for<br>
running in on ARM-based systems, previously mixed into the Spins page<br>
but now with a dedicated download page.<br>

<br>
Updated Components<br>
------------------<br>
<br>
As with every Fedora release, almost every component has a new version,<br>
with improvements across the board. Of particular note, Fedora<br>
Workstation includes the GNOME 3.18 desktop environment and the Libre<br>
Office 5.0 office suite.<br>
<br>
Fedora 23 also has important under-the-hood security improvements, with<br>
increased hardening for all compiled software and with insecure SSL3<br>
and RC4 protocols disabled. We've also updated all of the software<br>
installed by default in Fedora Cloud Base Image and Fedora Workstation<br>
to use Python version 3, and the Mono .NET compatible framework is now<br>
at version 4.<br>
<br>
Perhaps most importantly, Unicode 8.0 support now enables the crucial<br>
U1F32D character.<br>
