Fedora 27 Beta Release Announcement

Fedora 27 Beta Released
-----------------------

We're excited to announce the release of Fedora 27 Beta.

A short list of changes:

The Workstation edition of Fedora 27 Beta features GNOME 3.26.

LibreOffice is updated to LibreOffice 5.4.

Fedora Atomic 27 now defaults to a more simple container storage setup,
furthermore offer containerized Kubernetes, flannel and etcd.

We are also simultaneously releasing 64-bit F26 Beta for ARM (AArch64) and
Power (both little and big endian) architectures.

Fedora 27 Beta Server is intentionally delayed while we incorporate
additional modularity changes, and is planned for release in approximately
a month.

Also be aware that we are missing i686 (32-bit Intel architecture) images
for this release; this is due to a bug in image checksum creation and which
we will fix it by the final release. If you are interested in testing
Fedora 27 Beta on i686, wait for upcoming nightly images — or update from
Fedora 26.

Since this is a Beta release, we expect that you may encounter bugs or
missing features. To report issues encountered during testing, contact the
Fedora QA team via the mailing list or in #fedora-qa on Freenode.
