+ <para>
+ 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.

+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Handling of non-Latin scripts in text mode has been improved. It uses an
appropriate font if possible, and falls back to English if the language cannot be
displayed by the Linux console.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Rescue mode has been reworked to use the same interface as the text mode
installer instead of <systemitem>ncurses</systemitem>.

+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Software environment handling should now be more robust.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <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>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The <command>logvol</command> command has new options which are all
used to create cached logical volumes:
+ </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>
+ <para>
+ <option>--cachemode=</option> - The mode which should be used
for the cache - either <literal>writeback</literal> or
<literal>writethrough</literal>.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+ <para>
+ See the <systemitem>lvmcache(7)</systemitem> man page for more
information about LVM caching.
+ </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.
