Hi, folks!

The Fedora 45 RISC-V (non-official, community-contributed) *Beta* images
are available for testing.

You can find the Server, Cloud, and Container artifacts here:

Notes on server images
----------------------

There are two kinds of server images available:

• Fedora-Server-Host-Generic: This image uses the standard 7.2 kernel
    (7.2.7-300.0.riscv64.fc45).  This kernel is very close to upstream,
    and will work on VisionFive 2, Orange Pi RV, Milk-V Mars, and
    probably other boards.

• Fedora-Server-Host-Omni: This image uses the Fedora "Omni" kernel,
    (7.2.7-300.0.riscv64.omni.fc45).  The "Omni" aims to work on a wider
    range of RISC-V boards. Some patches in this kernel are still under
    review upstream. For details on the list of boards the Omni kernel
    should work on, refer to the overview[1] of Omni kernel.

Please take these images for a spin[2] and let us know if you hit any
issues.  Most of the active discussion is on the Fedora RISC-V Matrix
channel[2].

    include the lists as well from this release :-)
