brings many updates necessary for the increasingly diverse and expanding demands of this
language such as incremental and symbol garbage collection and many others.
-		</para>
-		<para>
-			This update also brings a soname bump. All Ruby packages which use binary extensions
should be rebuilt. Ruby 2.2 preserves backward compatibility with Ruby 2.1 (introduced in
Fedora&nbsp;21); therefore no changes to source code are necessary.

extensions to the standard <systemitem>datetime</systemitem> module available
in Python, has been updated to version 2.4 in Fedora&nbsp;22.

-			Previous releases of Fedora provided version 1.5 of this module. Upstream releases
immediately following this version only supported Python&nbsp;3, which meant the
Fedora package could not be updated without breaking compatibility. The current version
will work with both Python 2 and 3.

<package>python-dateutil</package> package should be used for Python 2
applications, and the <package>python3-dateutil</package> package provides
support for Python 3.

maintenance mode only, which means upstream only accepts bugfixes and security fixes, but
no new features are being implemented.

Python 3, on the other hand, is actively developed and new features are being added every
release.

several benefits of switching the "primary" Python stack:

Python community.

-			Fedora&nbsp;22 brings <application>Gradle 2</application>, the popular
build automation tool written in Java. <application>Gradle</application> can
automate building, testing, publishing, deployment etc. of software packages or other
types of projects, such as automatically generated documentation or websites.

of bug fixing is planned for those branches. Mono 4 is the active branch and has many
improvements.

Fedora (<package>XMvn</package> and

+			Many packages may need to be revised, updated or rebuilt because Mono 4 require that
all application use target 4.5. In general is a simple task to sed .sln, .cproj,
configure, configure.in, configure.am, Makefile, Makefile.in, Makefile.am for use mcs
instead gmcs and change profile less than 4.5 to 4.5. The files to sed change depending in
what form is distributed the sources. In most off the cases only configure files need sed.
A few package work without changes like gnome-subtitle or pinta
