Fedora Media Writer will gain the ability to write ARM images to SD
cards and other portable media.
== Detailed Description ==
With ARM (ARMv7A) being one of the primary architectures of Fedora, we
should support writing the images to bootable media for devices with
this architecture.
This means Fedora Media Writer will have to list the ARM images, offer
their download and be able to unpack them reliably (as they're shipped
LZMA-compressed - .xz). Memory card support should be improved,
especially in terms of reading drive information - many SD card
drivers report wrong names, sizes and media presence.
This will come along with many more features in FMW, such as
fullscreen screenshot preview, automatic FMW update check on Windows
and Mac, better reliability and performance improvements.
