+ <title>Kernel Acceleration for KVM Networking</title>
+ <para>
+ The <literal>VHost Net</literal> feature moves the task of converting virtio descriptors to skbs and back from qemu userspace to the kernel driver. This was shown to reduce latency by a factor of five, and improve bandwidth from 90% native to 95% of native on some systems.

<title>Automatic print driver installation </title>
<para>
- In &PRODUCT; &PRODVER;, functionality has been added to leverage RPM and PackageKit capabilities for automatic installation of printer drivers. When a user plugs in any of the supported printers, the driver identifies itself to PackageKit, and once authorized the driver is downloaded and installed automatically. Thanks to this change, &PRODUCT; bootable Live images no longer need to ship all printer drivers. This functionality equals or surpasses that of proprietary operating systems, where driver support is difficult and time-consuming. It also continues to build on the new, compelling functionality of free desktop components along with RPM.
