So, just a heads-up on this one. Despite the name, it's not *really* a
release candidate; we cannot release this compose, it does not yet
address all final blockers (notably it doesn't have the still-embargoed
fix for the openssl vuln). This compose is rather intended to include
most of the shiny new stuff we're considering pulling in for the real
RCs, so folks can test and we can find any lurking issues there. The
earliest we can do a 'real' RC will be Tuesday, after the embargo'ed
openssl fix arrives; depending on any other blockers that may show up,
or any kinks in the openssl release, it might be later.

It includes GNOME 43.1, Plasma 5.26, Firefox 106.0.1, Python 3.11
final, and kernel 6.0.5. If you see any significant problems related to
any of these which you didn't see in RC-1.4, please do bring it up! In
general, if folks can find the time to give this candidate a good
workout, it'd be really useful to give us confidence these bits will be
OK for the final release.

Thanks folks!

Is there a quick way to see what changed (in terms of package versions) between different
RC composes?

Not a perfect one, but you can follow the tickets:

https://pagure.io/releng/issue/11094 (candidate compose request)
https://pagure.io/releng/issue/10994 (stable push request)

the difference between RC-1.X and RC-1.X+1 will be any packages pushed
stable after RC-1.x was built that weren't listed in the RC-1.x request
or any earlier request, and any packages listed in the RC-1.X+1
request.

Thanks!

I would have been happy with the first reply already, but either it wasn't there yet
or my question was posted late, which in a sense is the same, of course :)

It wasn't there yet. I wrote it and intended to send it last night, but
didn't actually do so, because of stupidity (to send mails from my
fedoraproject.org address I have to be signed into the RH VPN because I
send them through the RH SMTP server, but I often am not, so I try and
send a mail, get an error, log into the VPN, but then *forget to resend
the mail*...)
