+ The <application>Anaconda</application> installer has been completely ported to Python 3 in Fedora 23. This will have no noticeable impact on your experience while installing Fedora, but is important to Anaconda's backend and to developers - especially those who create installer add-ons.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Python 3 is the next generation of the Python programming language. It is currently mature and stable, since it has been under active development for more than six years - version 3.0 was released in December 2008. Version 2.7 will continue being supported by upstream until 2020; however, this support concerns only necessary maintenance, not new features.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ With the move to Python 3, Anaconda (and other packages which have also been ported) can use new features provided by Python upstream. By staying close to upstream, Fedora can also better help the Python community go forward by contributing patches.

+ <para>
+ New command: <command>reqpart</command>. This command creates any partitions which are required by your hardware platform. For example, IBM Power Systems servers require a small <systemitem>PReP Boot</systemitem> partition, 64-bit Intel-compatible systems with BIOS firmware and GUID Partition Table (GPT) on the boot drive require a <systemitem>biosboot</systemitem> partition, etc.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The <command>reqpart</command> command can not be used together with <command>autopart</command>. Unlike <command>autopart</command>, it can be used together with additional partitioning commands; you can use <command>reqpart</command> to create whatever partitions are necessary, and then use other storage configuration commands such as <command>part</command> to create the rest of the partitioning layout.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ This command has one option: <option>--add-boot</option>. This option will also create a separate <filename>/boot</filename> partition, and a <filename>/boot/efi</filename> partition if the system uses UEFI firmware.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The <command>reboot</command> command has a new option: <option>--kexec</option>. Use this option to reboot into the new system using the <systemitem>kexec</systemitem> kernel switching mechanism instead of a full reboot, bypassing the BIOS/Firmware and boot loader.

+ </para>
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ <option>----cachesize=</option> - Requested size (in MiB) of cache attached to the logical volume. (Requires <option>--cachepvs</option>).
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ <option>--cachepvs=</option> - A comma-separated list of (fast) physical volumes that should be used for the cache.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>

+ <option>--cachemode=</option> - The mode which should be used for the cache - either <literal>writeback</literal> or <literal>writethrough</literal>.

+ <para>

+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The <command>btrfs</command>, <command>logvol</command>, <command>part</command> and <command>raid</command> commands all have a new option: <option>--mkfsoptions=</option>. This option specifies additional parameters to be passed to the program (<systemitem>mkfs</systemitem>) that makes a file system on this partition, volume or subvolume. No processing is done on the list of arguments, so they must be supplied in a format that can be passed directly to <systemitem>mkfs</systemitem>. This means multiple options should be comma-separated or surrounded by double quotes, depending on the file system.

<para>
As you enter the password, it will be evaluated and the installer will determine the password's strength. If the installer considers your password weak, a message will appear at the bottom of the screen, explaining which aspect of your chosen password is considered insuficient. For example:
</para>
- <screen>
- <guilabel>The password you have provided is weak:</guilabel> <guilabel>The password is shorter than 5 characters.</guilabel>
- </screen>
+ <screen><guilabel>The password you have provided is weak:</guilabel> <guilabel>The password is shorter than 5 characters.</guilabel></screen>
<para>
If a message similar to the above appears, it is highly recommended to choose a different, stronger password.
