FC5 Release Notes

[Anthony Green]

I've volunteered to help with the FC5 release notes.

According to the schedule, FC5 test1 is only 3 weeks away!

To be honest, I'm not quite clear on what kinds of things the release
notes should contain.  I'll work with the docs team on this, but if
anybody has ideas or knows of things that should be included, now would
be a good time to mention them.

Fedora Core/JPackage co-existence seems like an obvious candidate.

Yes, and Sun/gcj co-existence via JPackage and alternatives in
particular.

FC5 will include JOnAS as well, right?  Are there any other new
additions in java-land this time 'round?

I'd rather say "Other runtimes" rather than naming names...

Yes (well, probably) and no (not that I know of).
Actually, maybe there are some new Eclipse bits.

Cheers,

I've just gotten back into Fedora stuff in the past few weeks.  I'm still
unsure as to what we'll have in FC/FE5.

I guess just look in old release notes and see what people have said.
They've always been a wierd mix of really vague and really specific
iirc.

Cheers (very much so!),
