- In Fedora 21, the Erlang programming language has been upgraded to version R17 which provides better integration with the rest of the system. It also includes initial support for Elliptic Curves (EC), enabling the use of some Elliptic Curves, which was not possible in the previous version.
+ Fedora 21 includes KDE Frameworks 5, the successor to KDE Platform 4. KDE Frameworks 5 are based on Qt 5 and provide developers of C++ and Qt applications with access to a broad variety of technologies and tools developed by the KDE Community, without having to depend on the entire KDE platform.
</para>
<para>
- Other notable changes include:
- <simplelist>
- <member>Better interaction with systemd.</member>
- <member>Improved EPMD integration.</member>
- <member>It is now possible to install Erlang without installing the graphical libraries, if the user is not planning to use a GUI on the target machine.</member>
- <member>Improved packaging process. It now takes less time to package Erlang software for Fedora.</member>
- </simplelist>
+ Most of the frameworks are based on the <application>kdelibs</application> module, which has been divided according to functionalities provided. Dependencies have been packaged into individual libraries. This allows developers and projects outside the KDE ecosystem to use these technologies and benefit from the work of the KDE Community.
</para>

- See the <ulink url="http://www.erlang.org/news/73">Erlang/OTP 17.1 release article</ulink> for the full list of changes.
