** What's New in Fedora 19 for Power? **
* The new LLVMPipe rendering engine is now fully functional and enabled
by default. This greatly speeds up graphics rendering on systems with no
3D graphics drivers or working with VNC sessions.
A complete list with details of each new feature is available here:

*** Documentation ***
Read the full release notes for Fedora 19, guides for several languages,
and learn about known bugs and how to report new ones:

Because of the number of changes to the installer, we particularly
suggest taking a peek at the Installation Guide:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/19/html/Installation_Guide/ind...
Fedora 19 common bugs are documented at:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F19_bugs
This page includes information on several known bugs in the installer,
so we recommend reading it before installing Fedora 19.
*** Contributing ***
We can't build Fedora inside a box. We need your help! Bug reports are
especially helpful--if you encounter any issues, please report them!
Fedora is a fantastic, friendly community, and we have many ways in
which you can contribute, including documentation, marketing, design,
QA, and development.
